Dr. Sebastian Dittrich

My research focus lies in the analysis of phytodiversity, community dynamics and ecological restoration strategies. Especially, I am interested in

• Vegetation science with special focus on phytosociology
• Natural forest dynamics
• Ecology of cryptogams
• Restoration and management of sand ecosystems
