Plant Conservation and Population Biology Lab

We are part of the Biology department of the University of Leuven (Belgium). Our aim is to understand the dynamics of wild plant populations and their interactions with both the abiotic environment and with mutualists such as pollinating insects and mycorrhizal soil fungi. Another goal is to document the diversity of flowering plants and study their evolution.We highly value the societal relevance of our work in an era that is confronted with an ever increasing anthropogenic impact on biodiversity through habitat fragmentation, eutrophication and global warming.
