Main profile:

The research group primarily conduct vegetation research on geographical scale, usually using vegetation and environmental databases. The focus of our interest is to document, model and predict the effects of climate and land use change and that of the biological invasion.

In connection with the European Vegetation Survey working group, we care for the database of domestic cenological plots, on the basis of which we work primarily on the revision of the classification of non-woody vegetation. In connection with this, we make methodological developments in the field of vegetation classification.

Using plant traits, we study the rules for the organization of communities (assembly rules).
