Plant community ecology
The joy of complex interactions
How can plant help each other in nature?
Under which conditions do negative interactions become positive?
How can animals affect plant performance and plant community structure?
And how plant community structure affects their response to animals?
Can plant dictate their spatial organization?
Merav Seifan
My main research focus is the ecological mechanisms which govern plant-plant interactions, and thus shape community species composition and spatial structures. In particular, I am interested in two factors that may shape plant communities:
​​
The role plant-plant interactions and the external and internal factors that cause shifts in their nature from negative to positive.
The changing role of animal activity along environmental gradients
Research
Israel Climate Change conference 2022
Haaretz, a Israeli newspaper and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem organized a Climate conference as a local follow-up to the Glazgo Conference in 2021. I had the honor to participate in the panel discussing the biological diversity crisis (in Hebrew).
University of Tübingen
As a long-term member of the plant ecology group in the University of Tübingen, Germany, I am happy to serve as an ambassador for the university.
