I am a scientist studying the ecology and management of grassland systems, from semi-natural grasslands grazed by domestic or wild herbivores to sown forage leys.

My particular research interests involve:

  • Spatial heterogeneity in grazed grasslands
  • Multi-scale nutrient transfer through grazing animals
  • Driving forces of plant diversity and species interactions in managed grassland
  • Conservation and restoration of species-rich grasslands

I am working in the Grassland Science group of the University of Goettingen.
