Research background   Within the topic of ecological restoration various components of wetlands (water, soil, biodiversity and vegetation) and their ecological aspects are studied in order to know the optimal design of constructed or restored wetlands to attain multiple environmental services like e.g., water quality improvement, biodiversity strengthening, soil improvement and landscape integration. It is of relevant interest for me the role of wetlands at the landscape scale, specially, their influences on ecological processes happening in catchments.
