Marina Golivets

Dr. Marina Golivets is a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the Department of Community Ecology, Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) in Halle, Germany. Her research focuses on plant and invasion ecology, with expertise in quantitative data synthesis. She investigates plant competition dynamics, multispecies invasions in forest ecosystems, and the scale-dependent drivers of invasions. Her work integrates ecological traits and environmental relationships to inform conservation strategies.

Current projects include OneSTOP (biological security systems) and BioDT (Digital Twin for biodiversity), while past contributions involved the AlienScenarios project on invasion scenarios. She actively engages in global biodiversity frameworks, particularly for European steppes. Her interdisciplinary approach bridges ecological theory with practical conservation, addressing challenges like non-native species management and language disparities in science.

Recent publications emphasize biodiversity conservation strategies, digital twin applications, and the socioeconomic impacts of invasive species. She collaborates internationally to enhance data accessibility and equity in scientific research, advocating for inclusive practices in global ecological studies.
