Forschungsschwerpunkte / Research interests
I am a landscape ecologist with main experiences in vegetation science. In the field of landscape ecology I am interested in the pattern and processes of ecological systems at different temporal and spatial scales. Here I focus mainly on the influences of past and present changes in land use intensity, landscape structure and climate change on species and functional diversity, and their relation to ecosystem services.
I am currently responsible for the science management of the Research Unit Ecosystems of the Future and the Integrated Platform Sustainable Future Land Use.
