Current Research

The goal of my PhD is to improve the understanding of the functioning of ancient agricultural ecosystems. For this purpose I will combine methods from paleoecology and functional ecology. To manage sustainable agricultural ecosystems new insights are needed in the ways that humans influence the multiple functions of these ecosystems on the long term. Both functional ecology and paleoecology are important branches of ecology that contribute in setting realistic targets for ecosystem management. Combining the two, this study can inform the management of modern-day agroecosystems.
