Our lab is organizing the 68th IAVS Symposium

22-26 June, 2026 in Gijón, Asturias, Spain
The Vegetation & Biodiversity Lab is a research team coordinated by Borja Jiménez-Alfaro at the Department of Organismal and System Biology (University of Oviedo), the Biodiversity Research Institute, IMIB (CSIC - University of Oviedo - Principality of Asturias), and the Atlantic Botanic Garden of Gijón.
We study vegetation (i.e., the plant life of an area, encompassing the structure, composition, and distribution of plant assemblages across habitats) by exploring the patterns and drivers of plant communities along ecological gradients and spatial scales, their regeneration processes, and their associated ecosystems.
"Without plants, there is no life. The functioning of our planet, and our survival, depends on plants"
