Research focus:
I conduct research in the field of ecophysiology. I am particularly interested in learning about the differences between male and female individuals in dioecious species. I study secondary sexual dimorphism, as well as the response of dioecious plants to environmental conditions. Tools for me in learning about dioecious plants include studies of photosynthetic activity, chlorophyll fluorescence, chemical composition (concerning both photosynthetic pigments, phenolic compounds and other secondary metabolites), and leaf morphology. To date, I have conducted research on such native species as common juniper and common yew, as well as on an Australian species: Adriana tomentosa. Recently, however, I have been working on the common mistletoe in the context of both its dioeciousness and its semi-parasitic lifestyle.
Keywords:
Ecophysiology, dioecious plants, hemiparasitism, photosynthesis, gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence, macro- and micronutrients, secondary metabolites, morphological differences

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.
