Research focus

Effects of tree species change, structural change through forest reorganisation and deadwood decomposition on material turnover and microclimate

Effects of disturbance events (insect mass reproduction, droughts, vegetation fires), climate change (warming, drying), land-use changes (forest conversion, land-use intensity) and biodiversity on material cycles, functions and dynamics of dissolved and particulate organic matter (DOM and POM) and ecosystem processes

and geoarchaeology
