Biography
Florian Hofhansl is a research scholar in the Biodiversity, Ecology, and Conservation (BEC) Research Group of the IIASA Biodiversity and Natural Resources (BNR) Program. His research explores the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning with a focus on plant functional traits, life-history theory, and spatial ecology.He is an active member of the scientific steering committee of the AmazonFACE program, led by the National Institute of Amazonian Research, Manaus, Brazil, as well as the society for the promotion of the La Gamba Field Station, located in Costa Rica and hosted by the Department of Botany and Biodiversity Research at the University of Vienna, Austria.
Hofhansl holds a doctorate in ecology from the Faculty of Life Sciences at the University of Vienna. More information about his research is available here.
