Research & Publications
Research Direction (Environment & Ecology)
Plant – soil biota interactions: Ecological consequence of belowground community on individuals, populations and plant communities’ performance under the influence of global change.
Clonal plant ecology and environmental heterogeneity: ecological consequences of small-scale environmental heterogeneity at different levels, i.e., on individuals, populations, communities, and ecosystems; adaptive evolution of clonal life histories.
Invasive plant ecology: roles of clonal life history traits in plant invasiveness and community invasibility.
Wetland ecology: adaptive strategies of plants in wetland conditions and restoration of degraded
Wetland vegetation.
Phytoremediation of environmental contaminants: Removal of metal and nutrient additions in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems; adaptive strategies of metal hyperaccumulator plants.
