About the editor

Marius-Nicusor Grigore received his BSc and PhD in Biology from Alexandru Ioan Cuza University in Iași, Romania. He was subsequently a postdoctoral fellow in the field of halophyte ecophysiology at the same university, as well as an invited researcher at the Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain. His primary research interests are in the ecology, anatomy and physiology of halophytes. He has published 7 books and over 65 peer-reviewed papers on halophytes. In 2016, he was awarded the Romanian Academy’s “Emil Racoviță” prize for the book - Halophytes: An Integrative Anatomical Study, published with Springer in 2014. He is currently an editor at Alexandru Ioan Cuza University Press and adjunct professor at the Faculty of Biology.

This work was awarded  THE SCIENTIFIC MERIT `NICOLAE GIOSAN` by Academy of Agricultural and Forrest Sciences „Gheorghe Ionescu-Șișești” București, Romania, on 29th of November 2022.
