Rafael Carvalho da Costa

I am an associate professor at the Department of Biology, Federal University of Ceara. My research involves several themes in plant ecology: 1) Studies on the structure of vegetation, flora and plant regeneration strategies in the Caatinga, a SDTF, 2) studies of organisms and plant populations with a focus on studies of allometry and architecture of trees, spatial structure and dynamics of plant populations and 3) invasibility of ecosystems and the effect of invasive species on natives
