Kevin Li

Dr. Kevin Li is affiliated with the University of Göttingen, specifically within the Department of Crop Sciences, focusing on agroecology and spatial ecology. His research examines pollinator communities, biodiversity patterns, and ecosystem services in tropical rainforest transformation landscapes, particularly in Indonesia's oil palm agroecosystems. He leads the sub-project B09 within the Collaborative Research Center 990 (CRC 990), investigating how land-use changes impact pollinators and pollination networks across scales.

Collaborations include Professors Teja Tscharntke, Ingo Grass, and Kerstin Wiegand at Göttingen, alongside Indonesian counterparts at Bogor Agricultural University and the University of Jambi. His work integrates spatial simulation modeling to optimize ecological interventions in agricultural landscapes.

Key research themes include pollinator diversity in oil palm monocultures, landscape-level influences on biodiversity, and the application of ecological knowledge to support human-ecosystem interactions. His project evaluates enrichment schemes (plot size and tree richness) to enhance pollinator services in agroecological systems.
