Dr. A.I.M-Arnold
My research is interdisciplinary and examines diversified aspects on functions, community and processes in ecosystems with particular emphasis on carbon and nitrogen budgets in disturbed and undisturbed systems. My interests are focused on soil science, linkages between above-ground and below-ground ecology, insect population dynamics and dependence on the climate change, plant-herbivore interactions, and insect outbreak patterns in different spatial perspectives, GIS, biochemistry of host tree defence, tree physiology and foliar chemistry. This research is focused on laboratory and field studies in ecosystems.
