Research Interest

I study interactions between forests and climate and consequences of climatic changes on forest productivity using dendrochronological methods. I am interested in treeline ecology and in landscape evolution at longer temporal scales.

Teaching

Bachelor degree: Human environment, Landscape ecology, Physical geography

Master degree: Environmental geography of Czechia, Landscape planning, Regional biogeography, Dendrochronology, Forest Geography
