Ecologist specializing in forest ecology and biodiversity conservation research
Education
Professional Experience
As part of the Horizon Europe FORbEST project, her work focuses on understanding how climate change, natural disturbances and forest management influence biodiversity, forest structures, deadwood dynamics and ecosystem resilience in Central European forests.
Using the ecological models and field-based data, she studies the trade-offs between biodiversity and forest resilience, with particular emphasis on old-growth forests and their role as ecological benchmarks. As part of her PhD research, she uses the forest landscape model iLand to assess how climate change and disturbance regimes may alter forest structure, biodiversity potential and resilience in both managed and unmanaged forests.
The findings of her work aim to bridge the gap between ecological science and forest management practices, providing evidence-based pathways that support sustainable forest management and biodiversity conservation.
Besides work, I enjoy hiking and long walks. I am passionate about photography and love capturing moments, whether in forests, mountains, or everyday life. I also enjoy writing and reading fiction.
