Activity summary

Alexandra Baeta is the responsible researcher for the IRMS – isotopic analysis of C and N, at the MAREFOZ laboratory. Her research has always been focused on the application of stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes to understand food webs (all compartments of the food web), biodiversity and functioning of estuarine, coastal and marine ecosystems. She has also experience in trophic network analysis, ecology of complex systems, and ecological modelling.
