project manager 2019-2022 VEGA 1/0155/19: The effects of road communications on the biota of the agricultural landscape in climate change conditions. The project is focused in road ecology in agricultural landscape. Its scientific object is to execute the analysis of the current state and effects (impacts) of the road network on the landscape and the biota. A system of case studies will be used for the solution which will enable to cover the variability of impact of the road network on the landscape/biota as well as the possibility of efficient use of various methodologies. It will help to understand the local variability of the species diversity in relation to the road as a line anthropogenic construction in the agricultural landscape. Currently, this diversity is influenced also by the climatic change, so in the targeted parts of landscape there might be significant changes of dynamics of the community development (spreading invasive species, weeds and pests). Thus the project will make a significant contribution to the knowledge of the road biota, but it will also help to minimise the impact of the road network on the agricultural landscape. 

team member 2021-2024 VEGA 1/0007/21: Ecological specifics of pollination and dispersion of seeds in an urban environment. Urban environments are typical by an increased loss of habitat, fragmentation, and exposure to higher temperatures which consequently affects plan-arthropod interactions in terms of ineffective pollination services and seed dispersal. Disrupted pollinator activity and seed dispersal is crucial in connecting urban environments with neighboring ecosystems and contributes to a loss of diversity in native plant species. Pollinators may show stronger preference for certain focal species, wich may have positive (facilitative), negative (competitive), or neutral influences on plant communities. The present project aim to investigate (1) whether flower opening/closure would serve as bioindication of pollination abundance and richness in urban and rural habitats, (2) seed dispersal by ants in urban and rural habitats to show whether fragmentation of focal plants populations disrupts seed dispersal in cities and (3) effects of magnetic species on early flowering plant communities.

member of management of committee 2024-2028 COST CA 23123 Non-chemical weed management in medicinal and aromatic plants. Weed management is generally one of the most challenging aspects of crop production. If not optimally managed, weeds pose a serious competition for nutrients, water or light and therefore often lead to lower yields and higher levels of pests and diseases. The sector of medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) is particularly affected by weeds, as herbal raw materials are strictly standardised according to pharmacopeia requirements, for example with regards to the content of organic contamination, as well as pesticides or other toxic residues. This creates numerous challenges for cultivation, but also further down the value chain. There is a strong need to establish a proper strategy for sustainable weed management for these groups of plants; especially with regards to the EU Green Deal, which aims to reduce chemical pesticides by 50% by 2030. Farmers involved or interested in the cultivation of MAPs need clear support and easy access to training, information and exchange of experiences with regards to new technologies and the application of non-chemical tools and methodologies. Intensifying collaboration, sharing knowledge and research outcomes more widely and more efficiently along the entire value chain, while at the same time creating an environment for innovation (not exclusively in technological terms) is one of the main goals of this COST Action. The clear value of this network is its strongly emphasised interdisciplinary and multi-actor approach, which comes to fruition by considering not only the strictly agricultural and technological aspects, but also the socio-economic scientific factors.

member of management of committee 2024-2028 COST CA 23148 European Network for the Integrative Approach of Urban Forestry. The Action will bring together a pan-European network of scientists and stakeholders. The network will 1) integrative assess and benchmark the urban forest, 2) develop frameworks for strategic long-term, science-driven management and 3) stimulate stewardship by building cross-sectoral and inclusive management partnerships. The main pillar of attaining the challenges is by knowledge transfer between group members involved and from the Action to the global community. The Action will enhance networking among European scientists and increase the competitiveness of European research by promoting the exploitation of transnational research outcomes (SMEs). Finally, by knowledge creation and sharing, the Action will train young scientists. Career development of Young Researchers and Innovators and research impulses in Inclusiveness Target Countries (ITC) will be considered as a priority in the Action.

team member 2024-2026 09I03-03-V03-00033: Environmental applications of electrical discharges for water, air and agriculture purification. The project solves the problems of environmental pollution using a new technology of electrical discharges interacting with catalysts for air purification or directly interacting with water. In addition, electrical discharges enable the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen in the form of NOx into plasma-activated water, which is a green fertilizer supporting plant growth with a breakthrough impact in agriculture worldwide. The basic scientific goal is to shed light on the "grey area" of the fundamentals of plasma catalysis and plasma-liquid interaction processes. The researcher participates in the solution of this specific goal: the support of plant growth with activated water plasma. The project will make it possible to support a top research team under the leadership of an excellent researcher in the implementation of his independent and top interdisciplinary research in Slovakia.

project manager 2023-2026 1/0255/23: The road network as a linear element for the migration and spread of organisms in the conditions of ongoing climate change. Thematically, the project is a follow-up to the previous VAGA project, which significantly addresses biodiversity in the open landscape with special attention to roads and highways.

team member 2025-2028 VV-MVP-24-0207: Biological Corridors and Arthropods Biodiversity in Agricultural Landscapes. The main aim of this project is to study the relationship between the diversity and dynamics of selected bioindicatively significant groups of arthropods (harvestmen, spiders, mites, ground beetles, ants and thrips) in differently managed corridors and a wide range of autecological, synecological and environmental parameters. Considering that the agricultural landscape is heavily interwoven with linear elements (transport infrastructure), facilitating the spread of non-native species, the project will also assess the potential entry of these non-native species and their possible impacts on the diversity and stability of natural and agrarian ecosystems.
