The degradation of natural and seminatural ecosystems due to land-use intensification or abandonment of traditional land use is an increasing problem in many parts of the world.
We develop methods for the optimization of restoration measures and for the evaluation of restoration success in grasslands and wetlands. The aim of our research is to analyse mechanisms of vegetation succession in relation to environmental conditions on restoration sites in comparison to reference sites.
Our research projects cover different scales from plant populations and communities up to the landscape scale
