I'm excited to talk at the botanical seminar of the Institute for Botany and Zoology, Masaryk University (Brno).
16th of February 2023
"Unravel salinity: vegetation patterns and species niches across coastal and inland salt-affected habitats"

++++++++
With a fantastic group of co-authors, I recently had my first postdoctoral project on Bedrock Meadows in the Pacific Northwest of NA published. Check it out here: https://doi.org/10.1111/avsc.12702


+++++++++
Thrilled to be invited to give a talk about salt-affected vegetation in Europe at the Institute of Botany of The Czech Academy of Sciences in Třeboň
5th of December 2022


+++++++++
Check out the slides of my talk I gave at Ekologia 2022 on niches of Pannonian halophytes in relation to ions and elements that contribute to salinity. .


+++++++++
Attending the IAVS 2022 in person or remotely? Please feel welcome listening to my talk about the role of salinity and salt composition of salt-affected vegetation in the Pannonian basin! It will take place in the Monday morning special session on Challenges on the knowledge of halophytic vegetation.


+++++++++
I will give a talk aboutthe species assembly and functional patterns of Bedrock Meadows at this years Northwest Science annual meeting held online. Feel free to register and check it out!


+++++++++
Many thanks to the IAVS for the invitation to publish a summary of my PhD work in the Bulletin 2021/3 of the International Association for Vegetation Science. Special thanks goes to Monika  Janišová  and Anna Kuzemko for editing and layout!  Check it out!

+++++++++
Check out our new open-access article on the Desert Vegetation of Sinai led by Mohamed Zakaria Hatim. Click here! 

+++++++++
You want to know some more about salt-grassland science and its implications for nature conservation? Click here!

+++++++++
Please see our most recent poster on the comparison of Bedrock Meadows to grasslands from the wider region!


+++++++++
Please see my poster on our current project on Bedrock Meadows!


+++++++++
In the second half of 2020, I will leave the fantastic Wagner Ecology Lab at the University of Alberta to start working on the typology and macroecological assessment of European salt marshes in the Vegetation Science group, Masaryk University, led by Prof. Milan Chytrý. 


+++++++++
Please see my semifinalist contribution to the University of Alberta "Images of Research" 2020 contest!

Thanks to Stephan Hennekens from Wageningen Environmental Research,
​transformations of species-quantity scales studied in Pätsch et al. 2019c can now be applied using Turboveg 3!
