Research focus

My research interests have consistently centered on the influence of environmental and genetic factors on the developmental potential of both plants and animals, which I examine in relation to the reproductive potential
of individuals and the quality of their offspring.

Recently, I focused on the impact of varying nutrient availability—particularly long-term nitrogen deposition—on the reproductive potential of selected species of forest trees and shrubs, as well as the diversity of forest soil biota. I conduct research characterizing the response of plants to observed environmental changes, including limited water availability, by transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis.

Additionally, I investigate the causes and consequences of sexual dimorphism in woody plants (including Taxus baccata, Juniperus communis, Populus nigra) and search for molecular markers associated with dioecy.

My research integrates the results of genetic studies with ecological issues.
