Research Focus
Main topic of my research is ecophysiology of bioenergy crops with special focus on their water balance, water use efficiency and biomass productivity. Apart from that, I work with various micrometeorological and ecophysiological methods, including modelling, for quantifying the fluxes within soil-plant-atmosphere continuum. Last but not least, I work with remote sensing products based on land surface temperature measurements for quantifying evapotranspiration of agricultural and forestry landscape.
