Francesco Malfasi

About

Francesco Malfasi (Como, Italy) received the PhD in Chemical and Environmental Sciences in 2018 and is currently research fellow at the University of Insubria, within a project that concern the mitigation and adaptation of climate change impacts on alpine vegetation. His research areas are the high altitude and high latitude ecosystems, with particular focus on plant biodiversity, functioning, ecology and phenology, their interactions with the abiotic compartment and their responses to environmental and climate changes. Since 2010 he participated as expertise in botany in multidisciplinary projects during six Antarctic and one Arctic research campaigns, along with thirteen field seasons in the European Alps. He is co-author of 17 publications on ISI journals.
