Christina Fischer

My name is Christina Fischer and I’m a passionate researcher working in the field of animal ecology, agricultural science and nature conservation. I study the causal relationships between the drivers of land use change, biodiversity, and ecosystem functioning to find trade-offs between human needs and ecological sustainability. I’m mainly working in agricultural landscapes, but also in urban areas, where I study a wide range of terrestrial taxa. Furthermore, I focus on combined effects of land use and climate change in tropical forest ecosystems and in African savannahs.
