Research Focus
Global change as a multifactorial process can have far-reaching economic, social and ecological consequences. Many global change factors have become omnipresent. However, the potential ecological impacts are often still unclear. Therefore, I’m investigating such ecological effects of global change, both considering major individual global change factors such as light pollution, microplastics, or plant invasions, but also potential interactive effects of multiple factors, focussing on the performance of plants, their interactions in the plant-soil system and their cooccurrence in communities.
