My research interests include plant community ecology and effects of perturbations in terrestrial ecosystems, mainly fire, cutting and nitrogen deposition. I participated in numerous projects related to the analysis of the effects of these perturbations in different terrestrial ecosystems: forest, heathland and shrubland. She is an expert in heathlands ecology.
