Oksana Skaldina

Research environment: farmland, forest, grassland, soil, urban

Taxonomic group of interest: insects, vascular plants

Field of research: applied and restoration ecology, biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, conservation biology, community ecology, economics of biodiversity, ecosystem services, ecosystem and species monitoring, ecotoxicology, evolutionary ecology, functional ecology and food webs, human-nature relationships, landscape ecology, movement ecology, population ecology

Land use under investigation: agriculture, mining (including peat extraction), urbanisation

Anthropogenic impact under investigation: climate change, habitat modifications, pollution (including from light and noise), population changes and species decline







I am interested in plant/insect models and their interactions with changing environments. I investigate and develop ecological indicators of climate change and environmental pollution. My current research focus is dedicated to the restoration ecology of urban ecosystems and developing new approaches to safeguard pollinator biodiversity in traffic-polluted environments.
