Research focus:

My research interests cover the ecology of forest ecosystems, interactions between trees’ roots and mycorrhizal fungi, plant-fungi co-evolution and its implications for biodiversity patterns.
My research centres on the mutual effects of abiotic conditions, such as soil compounds, humidity, and habitat types, and biotic interactions: plant-plant and plant-fungi interactions, and relations between various types of plant root symbiosis with soil microorganisms.
It began with my studies on mycorrhizal symbiosis established by alien tree species growing in native European forest ecosystems. Today, my research focus has shifted towards the influence of invasive species and the biochemical compounds they produce on the soil mycobiome, interrelations between symbiotic and pathogenic microorganisms, and the impacts of climate change on the continental-scale distribution of ecological niches and fungal fruitbody phenology of ectomycorrhizal fungi with significant economic value.

Keywords:

mycorrhizal symbiosis, soil mycobiome, alien and invasive tree species, plant-plant and plant-fungal interactions, relations between various types of root symbiosis, climate change effects on species distribution and fungal phenology, co–evolution of trees and mycorrhizal fungi
