I am a masters student at the Institute of Environmental Biology, Faculty of Biology, University of Warsaw in Poland. My main focus is shedding light onto highly endangered, due to neglect from human impact, ecosystems that are grasslands. I study their abundant and unique flora, relationships with invasive plants, pollination potential and connections to humans. During my bachelor’s thesis I concentrated on the species occurring in grasslands, heaths and on sand dunes in a river mouth’s, touristic area. My master’s thesis is based on the biology and distribution of the burnt-tip orchid (Orchis ustulata) in Poland. I want to find out why this beautiful species is slowly going extinct and which habitat conditions it prefers to plan the best way to protect it, see what the prognosis of its status will be throughout the years and with climate change, as well as, discover potential solutions to our inability of growing it in vitro.
