Laboratory of Broadleaved Forest Ecology

The Laboratory traditionally performs biogeocenological studies covering elements of carbon, water and nitrogen cycles; production process as well as description of structure and functions of forest communities and their units. The main areas of research are: diversity and genesis of forest soils, forest typology, history of biogeocenosis development, impact of human economic activities on the forest, bioproductivity, gas exchange of forest vegetation and soils; biodiversity of woody-shrubby and herbal tiers, mushrooms, lichens, phyllophages; interaction of petiole oak with phyllophages.
