Elena Piano

I have a tenure track position at the University of Torino. My scientific activity mainly focuses on the impacts of anthropogenic pressures on biotic communities and natural ecosystems, with special reference to subterranean ecosystems and urban areas. I am currently working on the project "SHOWCAVE" that investigates the effects of the anthropogenic impacts in touristic caves. I am Council Member of the European Society of Arachnology and I teach Nature Conservation and Ecosystem Dynamics.
