Research Interest

I am interested in forest ecology and silviculture. Especially, my focus is on biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships in mixed-species forests and on how the relationships can be predicted by functional traits.

Project

The International Diversity Experiment Network with Trees (IDENT)
