Research Interests
My research focuses on a mechanistic understanding of the functioning of ecological systems and the mutual connection of the latter to the diversity of species and their traits. I am specifically interested in
- the link between species adaptations, organismic interactions and long term patterns in biodiversity,
- restoration ecology with a particular focus on degraded forest systems as well as
- concepts of biodiversity conservation under changing environmental conditions.
