Research Interests

• Consequences of peatland restoration for hydrochemistry, C, N and P balances, greenhouse gas emissions and hydrology
• Paludiculture and Sphagnum Farming as climate-smart and productive use of rewetted peatlands
• The influence of degree of peat decomposition on phosphorus binding forms in minerotrophic peat soils
• Laser Scanning Microscopy – an attempt for an objective determination of the degree of peat decomposition
• Atmospheric nutrient inputs and deposition fluxes of K, N and P into peatlands regarding to P and CO2-release
• Impact of chemical and physical changes in peatlands after drainage and rewetting
• Preparation of lacquer profiles

• Soil science and peatland science, excursions 
• Experimental guides in forests and peatlands for children and school classes.
