| Brief description |
Hydrological basin research and monitoring Water quality research of main springs Erosion dynamics and the impact of erosion on plant cover and aquifer recharge Simulation and patterns of forest fires and their consequences Taxonomy of plants and animals plant cover Identification and impact evaluation of pests and forest diseases Studies on population dynamics of commercially important species Monitoring of natural regeneration and dynamics in degraded areas and in the pino-encino ecosystem Monitoring population of rare and endangered species Human population: dynamics, activities and production techniques Impact of grazing on the flora and fauna Quantitative and qualitative inventory of sites with exotic fauna in order to establish new adapted control programmes Carrying capacity studies in very frequented areas Modelling in order to evaluate the impacts of productive activities and ecotourism Development of methodologies to assess economical value of natural resources. |
