I am interested in species responses to various soil variables, especially in the context of the conservation of rare species. Doing my PhD I am currently trying to identify the most important edaphic parameters determining the regional distribution of species and explaining the outcome of plant reintroductions.

My favorite tools for this work are

(1) species response and niche models,
(2) shovel and GPS devise and
(3) pH sensor and DNA extraction kit.
