Research interest

  • Study of contamination of mine heaps using plant indications and study of bioconcentrations and translocations of heavy metals in the system substrate - underground part of the plant - above-ground part of the plant with the aim of identifying species suitable for phytoremediation. 
  • Floristic and floristic-ecological analyzes of selected areas (also in relation to the evaluation of the impact of anthropic pressure).
  • Evaluation of grasslands and management measures leading to their favorable condition.
  • Taxonomy (genus Crepis, Daphne, Erysimum).
