Postdoctoral Researcher at the Functional Biogeography Research Group room: C1.004 phone: +49 3641 57 6292 fax: +49 3641 577200 email: staut(at)bgc-jena.mpg.de

Research Focus:

• mobilization of trait data from digital images
• how can information on trait data and plant identity from digital images improve data availability, e.g. for :
  • intraspecific trait variability
  • plant phenology

Research Interests:

• intraspecific trait variability and adaption of plants to a changing environment
• macroecological and biogeographical approaches in trait research
• boreal forests (of Central Siberia)
• seed traits, dispersal, and recruitment

Current Projects:

• Mobilization of trait data from digital image files by deep learning approaches
