Maria Cristina Buia

Interesse scientifico: ecologia dei sistemi vegetati marini. Le principali ricerche riguardano gli adattamenti (a diverse scale spaziali e temporali) delle fanerogame e delle alghe bentoniche a variazioni ambientali naturali e climatiche. Negli ultimi anni sono iniziate ricerche volte a valutare gli effetti dell’acidificazione e la qualità  degli habitat costieri superficiali.
