Jean-Marc Dufour-Dror (1970 - ) Ph.D.

Résumé
My research focuses on two main issues:
(1) The distribution, ecology, and control of invasive plant species in natural areas in Israel;
(2) The sustainable management of planted pine forests in the Mediterranean region of Israel, with a special emphasis on their transition from actual coniferous mono-specific stands to pines and oaks mixed forest structures.

I conduct ecological impact assessments for Israeli companies who are producing environment impact assessments.

I am working as a consultant in ecology issues for the Department of open areas at the Israel Ministry of Environment.

I am also teaching ecology at the Geography department of the Liphschitz College in Jerusalem.

Between Feb. 2000 to Feb. 2004, I worked as a lecturer & researcher at the Geography Department of the Tel-Aviv University, where I taught biogeography, ecology and geography of man-vegetation interactions in the Mediterranean basin.

I am currently completing a post-doctorate degree at the Department of Natural Resources, Institute of Field and Garden Crops, Agricultural Research Organization, P. O. Box 6, Bet Dagan, 50250 Israel, under the supervision of Prof. Avi Perevolotsky
