Research interest
My current research addresses how terrestrial ecosystems respond to environmental changes and biodiversity loss across the coming decades. To advance mechanistic comprehension of ecosystem dynamics the consideration of biotic interactions across trophic levels is of prime importance. I use multi-species food webs and interaction webs of functional groups to model multitrophic ecosystems. I strive for a network approach that integrates the entire set of species and biotic interactions of an ecosystem at a medium level of complexity.
