Have a Look at My Main Interests

I am a biologist and ecologist interested in the long-term dynamics of nature. I like looking into ecosystem changes covering various time scales in the Quaternary, studying processes that are beyond our direct observation and experimentation.

My main research questions include how changing climate affected terrestrial ecosystem dynamics and migration of plants, and how various natural and anthropogenic disturbances contributed to vegetation dynamics.

My recent projects and collaborations:

COST PalaeOpen

European network to build paleoecological database, intergrate data to foster research and environmental protection.

TAČR Paleochraň

Applied science project to transfer paleoecological knowledge into nature protection. [Czech]

INTERREG - Borderland

Cross-border project analysing landscape changes in time and apply results in landscape protection.

My main research activities concentrate in the following areas:
