Torben Weber

Torben Weber is a PhD student at the University of Hohenheim, affiliated with the Department of Landscape Ecology and Vegetation Science within the Institute of Landscape and Plant Ecology. His research focuses on the conservation of functional and taxonomic diversity of birds, particularly examining how agricultural practices, agri-environmental measures, and protected habitats influence these ecosystems. He holds an M.Sc. in Landscape Ecology (2021–2024) and a B.Sc. in Sustainable Agriculture (2017–2021).

Education:

• M.Sc. Landscape Ecology, University of Hohenheim (2021–2024)
• B.Sc. Sustainable Agriculture, Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences (2017–2021)

Research Interests:

Torben’s work integrates climatic and agricultural data to assess impacts on biodiversity. His master’s thesis explored climatic effects on maize plants using statistical analysis (R) and GIS tools. Current projects emphasize sustainable agriculture and landscape management strategies to support bird populations. He advocates for practical applications of ecological data in conservation and land-use planning.
