Alex Laini, PhD
At present I am doing a postdoc focusing on the study of macroinvertebrates in freshwater ecosystem, with respect to the response of organisms to natural factors and anthropegenic impacts. During my PhD I have study the distribution of compounds derived from agriculture (herbicides, greenhouse gases and reactive nitrogen) in spring ecosystems. |
