Activities
Within the PaludiZentrale project, I investigate the effects of rewetting and paludiculture on biodiversity. My main focus is the cross-project harmonisation of methods for zoological surveys in different model and demonstration projects. I also complement existing monitoring approaches with bioacoustic surveys and eDNA sampling.
