Biography

I am a historical forest ecologist with research interests in natural forest dynamics, forest management history, driving forces of forest uses, traditional forest-related knowledge in the temperate region. I received an MSc in Biology and Geography Education from the Ferenc Rákoczi II Transcarpathian Hungarian College of Higher Education, Ukraine. I have just submitted my PhD thesis to the University of Pécs, Hungary. Before joining the School of Geography at the University of Nottingham this January as a Professor R H Osborne Visiting Research Fellow, I was a research fellow at the Centre for Ecological Research, Hungary.

Current Research

I am currently working on an interdisciplinary research project on the driving forces, perceptions of conservationists and management conflicts related to natural forest development on abandoned arable lands.

Past Research

My previous research was focused on the legacy of anthropogenic disturbances (e.g. forest management, alien invasive pathogens and domestic livestock grazing) on the natural dynamics of oak forests in the Pannonian region.
