Research interests
My current research is on the persistence of plants in severly fragmented and highly dynamic habitats as part of ASSEMBLE, an ESF project which seeks to understand the assembly of plant communities on the base of their functional attributes.
I am equally interested in the relationship of functional and species diversity with ecosystem services against the framework of land use and global change. My diploma thesis focused on the effects of avalanche frequency and snow melting time on the distribution of plant growth forms and I am still very interested in the study of alpine ecosystems.
