Research:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Turtureanu has an active research activity mainly in alpine ecology. He is particularly interested in addressing questions related to thermal conditions experiences by high-elevation species and communities, dynamics of alpine grasslands under global changes and functional ecology of plants. He is primarily focused on alpine herbaceous ecosystems of the Carpathians and operates a long-term network of soil temperature monitoring sites across the region. He is also involved in high elevation flora international monitoring initiatives such as\u00a0the Global Observation Research Initiative in Alpine Environments aimed at documenting the effects of climate change on the vulnerable alpine flora worldwide.<\/p>\n
