Margarita Lema

Margarita Lema is an ecophysiologist at the Department of Functional Biology at the University of Santiago de Compostela, with interests in understanding the physiological response of plants to biotic and abiotic factors. Her research involves the study of the ecophysiology and management of plant genetic resources, use of physiological traits for plant breeding and early stress detection in forest and crop species, comparison of ecophysiological traits of wild and cultivated species and climate change effect on ecophysiology of native and invasive plant species. She is also concerned in exploring strategies to teach science effectively.

Armada y peligrosa: el cambio climático puede favorecer la expansión de la planta invasora Carpobrotus edulis

El aumento de la temperatura y la disminución de la precipitación puede incrementar el potencial invasor de esta planta de origen sudafricano que ya ocupa zonas costeras templadas de todo el mundo.

Ready and prepared: climate change may favour the expansion of the invasive species Carpobrotus edulis

Rising temperatures and decreasing levels of precipitation can magnify the invasive potential of this South African plant that has already taken over temperate coasts around the world.
