My scientific background lies in plant ecology with emphasis on rhizosphere ecology, plant-soil-relations as well as the fit of functional plant properties with their environments. In university teaching, I cover a spectrum of ecological and plant science topics. In bachelor level teaching these include lectures and practical courses in evolution and biodiversity of plants, in ecology, in field biology as well as basics of biology. In master level teaching – in cooperation with biology teaching education – we offer excursion modules mainly directed to prospective teachers.
