We are interested in investigating the impacts of forest road networks as a form of anthropogenic disturbance on soil biota, biodiversity, and soil ecosystem functioning. Our research aims to assess how forest roads and associated disturbances affect soil organisms, community composition, and ecological processes in forest ecosystems.
We are seeking international research partners with expertise in soil ecology, soil biodiversity, soil microbiology, soil fauna, and the ecological impacts of forest infrastructure. We are particularly interested in collaborating with teams experienced in soil biota sampling, biodiversity assessment, molecular methods, and evaluating disturbance effects on forest soil ecosystems.
Our goal is to develop a joint research project combining complementary expertise to better understand the ecological consequences of forest road networks and their implications for sustainable forest management.

We are a research team at the Faculty of Science, University of Hradec Králové, Czech Republic, focusing on biodiversity research across a wide range of taxonomic groups, spatial scales, and levels of biological organization. Our research explores patterns and drivers of biodiversity, species distributions, community composition, and ecological interactions in various ecosystems.
We are particularly interested in understanding how environmental conditions, habitat characteristics, and natural and anthropogenic disturbances influence biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Our research combines field-based ecological studies, biodiversity monitoring, and quantitative approaches to investigate ecological patterns and processes.
We are interested in interdisciplinary and international collaboration that brings together complementary expertise, methodologies, and perspectives to address current challenges in biodiversity conservation and sustainable ecosystem management.
