doc. Ing. Daniel Kurjak, PhD.
Researcher
Ecophysiology of trees, stomata, photosynthesis, water loss, abiotic stress tolerance, provenance research
Specialization:
Plant ecophysiology
- physiological traits such as photosynthesis, chlorophyll fluorescence, stomatal characteristics, water transport
- abiotic stress impact: heat, drought, salt, heavy metals and oxidative stress
- biotic stress: vitality of trees impacted by hemiparasites, effects of phytophthora
- mitigation of the negative impact of changing environment: e.g. provenance research, defining critical conditions of the environment for different tree species, using hydrogels, chitosan, and silicon nanoparticles, searching for mechanisms of resistance against stress
