Eduardo Fernández-Pascual

I’m a researcher at the IMIB Biodiversity Research Institute (University of Oviedo - CSIC - Principality of Asturias) working on:

• Functional seed ecology. How plant regeneration by seed varies at different environmental scales, from macroecological patterns at the biome level, to microhabitat effects at the plot level. How these seed-environment relationships drive the distribution and persistence of plant diversity.

• Plant responses to global change. How plants acclimatize and adapt to climate change and other global change aspects such as sea level rise and urbanization, with a special focus on (but not limited to) responses in regeneration by seed.

• Soil microclimate. How climate varies at microscales within the soil, and how this variation is driven by factors such as waterlogging or snow cover.

In this website I collect and share the datasets and codes of my publications, plus some research tools, like the SylvanSeeds database and the seedr R package. Also check out the SeedArc initiative to build a global archive of primary seed germination data. Please get in touch for comments or questions about any of these items.
