Interests

 

  • Macro- and micromorphological changes in response to environmental stress
  • Functional plant anatomy
  • Autoecology of woody species
  • Bioindication of airborne and soilborne stress factors
  • Histology, Cytology and Cell physiology

Lecture with Practical Exercises: Functional plant anatomy and ecology

The principal objective in this lecture is to develop understanding on how structural changes at cell, tissue and organ level allow herbaceous plants and trees to cope with environmental constraints and anthropogenic stress. Training and excursion illustrate and complete with hand-on aspects the information provided in the classroom.

Projects

Pine tree stand and forest site resilience after the severe 2017 wildfire on the slopes of Vesuvius, Italy

Long-term research on the interactions between changes in land use and climate and their consequences regarding forest health and dynamic in the pine forests at low elevation of Central Alps

The ongoing climate change has caused changes in the species composition of alpine meadows. Complementing the vegetation surveys realized in the GLORIA initiative, this project investigates the functional responses above- and belowground to abiotic drivers in alpine forb and grass species.

The microC-flux project aims at elucidating the diel dynamics of carbon within foliage of conifer trees, assessing the C-enrichment within transient starch pools of needle tissues by means of nanoSIMS imaging and modelling the opposite radial transport of water and assimilates inside of needles
