My research focus is in the analysis of phytodiversity and the development of nature conservation strategies under the conditions of sustainable land-use management and global change. Specifically, I am interested in
- Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning research
- Concepts of nature conservation to safeguard natural resources and ensure sustainable development
- Biodiversity conservation
- Forest ecology and management
- Ecological responses of plant species and plant communities to multiple, interacting drivers of global change (in particular land use change, climate change, nitrogen deposition, land us)
- Applied plant ecology.
