Research topics

The main objectives of my research are to gain a better understanding of (plant) community assembly theories. This includes answering fundamental questions concerning the explanation of species richness of plant communities, their structuring and long-term dynamics. The results are then applied to the conservation management or ecological restoration of ecosystems that have been degraded by phases of intensive agriculture.
