Comín Sebastián, Francisco A.

Biography

Most of my work was carried out in the floodplains of the Ebro River (Middle and delta Ebro), and agricultural watersheds (with both dry and irrigated agriculture, in Monegros, Cinco Villas, and Rivers Martin and Piedra). At this time, I am applying the assessment of ecosystem services to plan restoration at large scale. This requires the analysis of spatial and temporal patterns of regulating and support ecological functions and services, as well as the integration of cultural-and provisioning services.

Research Interest

My research activity focus on developing practical tools for the restoration of degraded ecosystems and territories through the integration of ecological, social and economic aspects. It is based on the experience obtained from studies and projects performed to improve the biodiversity and the provision of ecosystem services at watershed scale, which can be applied to any piece of a territory, and the restoration of wetlands, rivers and watersheds.
