Research focus:

Research focuses on ecological adaptation mechanisms and plant interactions with abiotic factors in natural and transformed ecosystems. Special attention is given to developing methods for assessing ecosystem functional stability based on morpho-functional traits at various developmental stages. Scientific interests include analyzing morphological, physiological, and structural traits that determine species’ adaptive capacity under changing conditions. Within functional ecology, emphasis is placed
on intra- and inter-organ trait relationships to identify integrated plant responses to complex environmental gradients. One direction examines the role of lianas in biomass formation within forest strata and their impact
on regeneration. The effects of natural disturbances - such as fires and soil erosion –
are assessed via changes in forest structure (herbaceous layer and soil horizons). Urban ecosystem research focuses on identifying structural patterns and biodiversity indicators
in response to anthropogenic disturbance and habitat heterogeneity using alpha diversity metrics.
