Bikem Ekberzade

Bikem Ekberzade’s research focuses on the responses of different ecosystems to external pressures and disturbances. Currently, Bikem is focusing on forests and how their composition and their distribution is affected by shifts in climatic variables. Through a process based dynamic vegetation model and a combination of field visits, empirical datasets, and climate models, Bikem is defining bioclimatic thresholds of additional key woody taxa covering primarily the Eastern Mediterranean Basin.
