Research focus:

My research is focused on the ecology of forest ecosystems, with particular emphasis on decomposition and production processes, and the share of ground cover in these processes. I am also interested in the diversity of functional properties
of herbaceous plants in the ground cover and the natural regeneration of trees in temperate zone forests.

Herbaceous plants of the ground cover are my favourite objects for studies. As part of my doctoral-dissertation research, I dealt with estimating the contribution of herbaceous plants in the productivity and circulation of elements in forest ecosystems
in relation to the share of trees in the process.

I am currently conducting research into the decomposition of herbaceous plants in forests, using a spectrum of their functional properties.
I study the decomposition rate of plant litter from herbaceous plants of the ground cover in various forest ecosystems, from oligotrophic dry pine woods to eutrophic ash tree and alder wetland. In addition, I analyse the interdependence between the functional characteristics of herbaceous plants and their decomposition rate.

Keywords:
decomposition, functional charactersitics, herbaceous plant layer, primary production, forest ecosystems, spring geophytes
