I am an associate professor at the Institute of Dendrology PAS, head of the Department of Ecology, and director of the Institute since 2019. In 2002 I graduated at the Faculty of Forestry of Poznań University of Life Sciences (MSc thesis: „Forest communities and vascular flora of the nature reserve „Ostrów Panieński” near Chełmno”). In 2006 I received my PhD in biological sciences at the Institute of Dendrology PAS (PhD thesis: „Ecological consequences of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) silviculture in different densities”) and, in 2016, I completed my post-doctoral qualification (habilitation) in biological sciences at the Władysław Szafer Institute of Botany PAS in Kraków, based on my scientific achievement entitled: „Ontogenetic determinants of changes in root biomass and morphology of the forest-forming tree species”. I am particularly interested in forest ecology, and in general, I study factors affecting and controlling standing biomass and carbon storage in forest ecosystems, plant biomass production, and decomposition, as well as sources and causes responsible for the biodiversity of forest ecosystems and their ecological determinants. My research findings were published in more than 220 articles, e.g., in Nature, Science, PNAS, Global Change Biology, New Phytologist, Forest Ecology and Management.

Research interests:

Forest ecosystem ecology, plant functional ecology, climate change, carbon storage, biomass production, and allocation.

I started working in the Institute of Dendrology of the Polish Academy of Sciences as a junior technician in 1998. Currently, I am the head of the Department of Developmental Biology, leading a young and ambitious team. As a specialist in plant physiology and biochemistry, I investigate the molecular basis of tree seed aging and compounds regulating the redox state of seeds to identify potential markers of their viability. I am a co-investigator in 10 research projects and the principal investigator of the OPUS18 project entitled “Effects of thiol redox regulators on seed quality and the process of their aging.” The research project's main objective is to analyze the network of redox regulation processes involving various proteins of tree seeds differing in resistance to water loss, and thus loss of viability during storage. Since the participation of these proteins in the redox state regulation depends on their involvement in the processes of S-nitrosylation and denitrosylation, the level and location of selected compounds, enzymatic activity, and gene expression are analyzed. Oxygen concentration affects NO content, so the respiration intensity of the seeds is also examined. I am an author of more than 30 scientific publications.

Research interests:

Aging of seeds, regulation redox state, mitochondria, respiratory metabolism, oxidative stress.

I am a plant ecologist particularly interested in biological invasions. In my PhD project, I examined determinants of ecological success of invasive tree species natural regeneration, measured by density, biomass, survival, and functional traits; impacts of distance to parental trees, light availability, soil chemistry, and understory vegetation were also assessed. My other studies focus on vegetation ecology under human impacts (climate change, land-use transformation, forest management, river regulation), forest biomass production and carbon sequestration, and modeling climate change effects on species distributions. I am an enthusiast of data analysis using R software, particularly multidimensional methods (community data) and machine learning. Also, I experienced a four-month internship in the Laboratiorio de Invasiones Biológical (Universidad de Concepción, Chile). Currently (2020-2024), I am working on a research project entitled ‘Impact of invasive tree species on ecosystem services: plants biodiversity, carbon and nitrogen cycling, and climate regulation.’
