Current Research:
My current research within the SusAlps project relates to the sustainable management of grasslands in (pre-)Alpine Bavaria, Germany. I am particularly interested in the underlying perceptions and multiple values of ecosystem services and how these differ between actor groups and by means of different valuation techniques.
