The research line Processes in Plant Biology brings together studies focused on understanding the establishment, functioning, reproduction, and interaction of plants with the environment.
It includes studies on plant physiology, ecophysiology, plant ecology, reproductive biology, pollination, dispersal, germination, initial establishment, ecological restoration, and biotic and abiotic interactions. Research developed within this line seeks to understand how individuals, populations, species, and plant communities respond to environmental conditions and participate in ecosystem dynamics.
This research line includes experimental, observational, and comparative approaches, contributing to the understanding of ecological, functional, and reproductive processes that influence the maintenance of plant biodiversity.
