Beate Proske Doktorand

As a PhD student I am currently working on population dynamics in the perennial herb Primula farinosa using demographic data and looking at the effects of a varying environment on different natural populations located on Öland, Sweden. 

The detailed data record of individual plants over the time span of 10 years allows a valuable inside into the population dynamics and its response to a changing environment. We further followed the infection rates of a rare plant pathogen, naturally found in Primula farinosa.
