Research interests:

• Forest soils:
  Experiments on drought stress and soil warming, soil respiration, gross N turnover, long-term trends in soil solution, morphology and turnover of fine roots, response of beech saplings to drought stress
• Coarse woody debris:
  Release of dissolved organic carbon and nitrogen, potential as carbon sink in managed and unmanaged forests
• Peatlands: Experiments on water table drawdown and flooding, carbon and nitrogen turnover, solutes in pore water
• Isotopes (¹⁴C, ¹³C, ¹⁵N)
