“I am mostly interested in tropical plant life, particularly vascular and non-vascular epiphytes, but also hemiepiphytes and nomadic vines. Trying to identify and to understand the idiosyncrasies of their ecology, my research covers (almost) everything from functional morphology, physiological ecology to biogeography & evolution. Apart from this, there are frequent “excursions” into other areas, e.g. the role of phytic acid in P-metabolism of plants in general or the ecophysiology of bryophytes.”
