RESEARCH

Lluís Coll has a bachelor degree in Forestry (1999) from the University of Lleida (Spain) and a PhD in Forest Ecology (2003) from the Blaise Pascal University (France). At present he is full-time researcher in the Forest Sciences Centre of Catalonia (CTFC) where he leads the Forest Functioning and Dynamics research group. Since 2012 he is associate researcher at the Centre for Ecological Research and Forestry Applications (CREAF). His research interests focus on the analysis of the main factors driving mountain forest dynamics their capacity to respond to environmental changes. In these areas he is conducting studies at various scales (from the landscape to the species level) that combine a number of techniques including the use of forest dynamics models. Since about 10 years he is actively collaborating with many researchers of the Centre for Forest Research from Québec where he spent 2 years (2004 & 2005) as a postdoc.
