Hello DOMIPEX colleagues!
We are the TEAM 15, from the Institute of
Aquatic Ecology (University of Girona). We are Irene, Juanita, Anna, Núria,
Elena and Mireia, a very diverse team, with researchers from different
departments and lines of research.
Irene is working in wetland systems, particularly
in the study of macroinvertebrate communities and their relation to the
environmental characteristics of the ecosystem surrounding them. Juanita, Anna
and Núria are working in biofilms and leaf litter decomposition in
Mediterranean rivers. We are focused on the ecosystem functioning regarding to
the interaction with drought effect, water quality, and anthropogenic impacts.
Elena and Mireia are from molecular microbial
ecology group (gEMM). Elena studies the nitrogen cycle, mainly the different
fates of nitrite and nitrate in aquatic systems, as denitrification and dissimilatory
nitrate reduction to ammonium. Mireia is developing her thesis around the role
of the uncultured Archaea in the carbon cycle in stratified karstic lakes.
