AG Biodiversity Sciences (Adam Clark)

Our research centres on changes in biodiversity over space and time. In particular, responses to anthropogenic threats such as large-scale changes in land use and climate change are still poorly understood. A particular focus for us is on "cultural landscapes" and their traditional management, e.g. dry grasslands, wetlands and alpine ecosystems in temperate and Mediterranean Europe. Endangered and introduced plants are of particular interest to us, as well as how biodiversity is influenced by interactions between species, and between species and their environment.
