Bruna Paolinelli Reis

For many years I have been involved in forest and grasslands restoration in Brazil and in Hungary. During my Master, I developed a methodology for monitoring forest restoration in large scale throughout remote sensing techniques, LIDAR and UAV. During my PhD, my main topic included long-term and ladnscape scale studies in grassland restoration in the Kiskunság National Park in Hungary. My current research in the eChanges group is driven by the overaching objectives: to identify areas where ecological restoration projects have been implemented and monitored within the eLTER network (Long-Term Ecosystem Research sites in Europe), and to elaborate a database of experts and projects that would help to upscale restoration across Europe. In the country level, I am involved in a project to mitigate and restore land under pressure to to combat desertification and increase resilience to climate change in the montado ecossytems.
