Researcher
doc. Ing. Daniel Kurjak, PhD.
Ecophysiology of trees, stomata, photosynthesis, water loss, abiotic stress tolerance, provenance research
ORCID:   ORCID
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
