Research on the response of ecosystems to Global Change by experimental biogeography, field observations and statistical modelling, mainly in three interrelated fields:

• Winter ecology (and climatic change in winter).
• The importance of extreme weather events and interacting climate drivers for temperate vegetation.
• The role of plant diversity for ecosystem functioning, with diversity acting at different levels, ranging from genetic diversity to species- and functional diversity and spatial diversity on the landscape level.
