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.
