Prof. Dr. Zoltán Nagy - MATE Research
Overview
Research activities included studying plant ecophysiological responses to drougth and salinity stresses with investigations carried out mainly on grasslands and arable lands. He contributed to desicaction tolerance studies by analysing plant water relation, chlorophyll fluorescence and leaf scale gas exchange responses during the dehydration and rehydartion process. His further main research topics include ecosystem scale gas exchange, field scale evapotranspiration and Sun induced fluorescence.
