Current research interests: Dr. Turtureanu’s research uses a combination of field study, environmental modelling and remote sensing to characterize and predict environmental and climatic changes in mountain environments with a particular interest on grassland ecosystems in the Carpathians.  Dr. Turtureanu also operates a remote network of soil climate sensors across the Southeastern Carpathians which support climate monitoring and adaptation initiatives in the region.

General areas of interest:

• Plant ecology
• Grasslands
• Functional ecology
• Alpine ecosystems
• Long-term monitoring
• Remote sensing
• Dry grasslands
• Vegetation ecology
• Biodiversity research
• Vegetation of forests
