Universidade Federal do Ceará
The Laboratory of Systematics and Plant Ecology (LASEV) of the Universidade Federal do Ceará, headed by Prof. Dr. Maria Iracema Bezerra Loiola, develops research related to the systematics of spermatophytes, mainly of the species occurring in the Northeast of Brazil, as well as to the evolutionary and biogeographic relations. Another focus of our team is the understanding of the ecological aspects, through floristic and phytosociological surveys, seed banks, successional studies and functional attributes of the semi-arid Northeastern species.
