Dr Luciana Gomes Barbosa is a PhD in Ecology and an associate professor of Aquatic Ecology at Universidade Federal da Paraíba, Brazil. She is the founder and Chairperson of International Network on Limnology of Drylands (INLD). Her main research interest concentrates on the effects of drought and multiple stressors such as salinity and eutrophication on the resilience of the drylands systems and aquatic communities. Thus, the main interest overlaps with the main aims of the INLD, in the search of patterns and main factors that drive the structure of biological communities in dryland freshwater ecosystems.
