Plant and Vegetation Ecology Research Group

Our research group does basic and applied research in plant ecology.                            

We are broadly interested in understanding the mechanisms behind vegetation transformations induced by land-use changes in Transylvanian grasslands. In this respect we focus especially on the effects of litter accumulation, burning, shrub encroachment and invasion of non-native species on grassland dynamics. We perform experimental studies in climate chambers, common garden and field. Our lab offers a wide range of topics for undergraduate (B.Sc. and M.Sc.) students.

Our research team recently ended a research project funded by Romanian National Authority for Scientific Research and Innovation, CNCS – UEFISCDI (PN-III-P1-1.1-TE-2019_0414). Please check out our objectives and results HERE!
