Lebenslauf
Biografie
- As a forest ecologist, I am interested in the impacts of forest management on forest biodiversity. I am particularly dedicated to insects dependent on dead wood and old growth trees, and to the functions of this insect group in forest ecosystems. My main objectives are to better understand patterns in forest biodiversity and to provide scientific baselines to integrate biodiversity conservation into forest management.
