Prof. Dr. Thorsten Balke

As a vegetation ecologist and trained geographer I am keen to improve process understanding of dynamic landscapes and plant communities at various spatial and temporal scales .

My research group adopts a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to better understand the linkages between ecological, geomorphological/hydrological and anthropogenic processes in coastal and riparian landscapes. Our research output aims to help designing and implementing scalable Nature-based Solutions at land-water interfaces.

 

Key words:

  • Coastal Vegetation Ecology
  • Biogeomorphology and biophysical interactions
  • Mangroves, salt marshes, dunes, riparian floodplains
  • Restoration Ecology
  • Nature-based solutions
  • Management of dynamic landscapes
  • Ecosystem services
  • Disturbance and seedling ecology
  • Coastal environmental change
  • Plant ecology and phenology
