Research

My research focuses on forest restoration and adaptation of forest management regimes to global change. For example, I have studied the restoration of mixed stands through natural and artificial regeneration. I have also focused on continuous cover forestry and ecological processes in mixed stands, and used silvicultural, ecological and eco-physiological research methods.
