Research area
- Invasion ecology – study of the distribution of invasive alien plants, the importance of riparian zones and roads as the corridors of their spread, habitat affiliation and factors (natural and anthropogenic) affecting the presence and spread of alien invasive plants in natural and anthropogenically-modified habitats.
- Study of alien plant invasions in protected areas and the impacts of their invasions on the natural communities of native and endangered plant species and protected habitat types.
- Ecology and biology of weeds – study of weed communities, their biological spectra, phytogeographical characteristics and change dynamics in agroecosystems and ruderal areas.
- Risk assessment and impact assessment of the introduction and spread of alien and potentially invasive plants in Serbia.
- Importance of citizen science in the field of invasion ecology.
