Research topics:
Main research topics deal with following issues:
- biodiversity patterns – relationships between biodiversity (mostly in farmland) and habitat structure;
- landscape structure changes;
- long-term trend analysis (for birds and insects, since the 1970s);
- communities and species distribution (plants, insects, spiders and birds) and on the use of selected species for bioindication of habitat quality;
Ongoing and recently completed research:
Projects:
- "GIS as a tool for habitat description and nature protection in a farmland" granted by NCN no. N N305 358638, completed in 2016 (MSc. T. Knioła, supervised by K. Kujawa);
- "The principles of shaping the spatial structure of trees and dendroflora of mid-field shelterbelts in order to optimize their protective and production functions" granted by NCN no. N N 309 297939, completed in 2016 (K. Ziomek, supervised by Prof. S. Bałazy);
Statutory research:
Topic: "Landscape and biological diversity"
- Changes in quality of habitats in a farmland caused by pressure of urbanized area on adjacent landscape (K. Janku, M. Mana, E. Arczyńska-Chudy);
- Effect of habitat structure on distribution and abundance of butterflies in agricultural landscape (D. Sobczyk);
- Landscape structure and spider species diversity in various crop types (M. Oleszczuk);
- Determining of the effect of environmental factors on species diversity of lichens in agricultural landscape (K. Kujawa, cooperation with D. Zarabska-Bożejewicz from Dept. of Agroecology and Bioindication);
- Impact of black locust on biodiversity of agricultural landscape (K. Kujawa);
