My main research interests are related to temporal dynamics of grassland plant diversity in changing landscapes. The aim of my PhD studies is to reveal changes in grassland species populations and community composition caused by human induced-habitat changes, and to test which life-history traits and habitat preferences are related to species extinction and colonization patterns in these grassland communities. I aim to identify the main driving factors behind biodiversity dynamics and to predict future changes in grasslands. My supervisors are Professor Meelis Pärtel and Researcher Aveliina Helm.

See my CV and publication list in ETIS (Estonian Research Portal).
