Main work
The focus of my research lies in the field of phytogeography and phytoremediation, specifically pertaining to native oak species/forests. This encompasses tree eco-physiology, regeneration processes, range shifts, dendroecology, productivity, as well as ecological restoration efforts in abandoned mines.
