Sergey Rosbakh

Sergey Rosbakh is a Tenure Track Assistant Professor in the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences at the University of Copenhagen, specializing in organismal biology. His research focuses on plant ecology, seed biology, and climate change adaptation across diverse ecosystems including alpine, Mediterranean, and freshwater habitats.

Dr. Rosbakh's research interests encompass several critical areas in contemporary plant science:

• Seed ecology and germination strategies under climate change
• Plant adaptation to temperature stress and heat tolerance
• Functional trait analysis across plant communities
• Pollen temperature tolerance and reproductive biology
• Soil seed bank dynamics and persistence mechanisms
• Long-term vegetation changes in European ecosystems

His recent publications demonstrate sophisticated analytical approaches combining field studies with large-scale meta-analyses. Through examining seed morphology, germination patterns, and plant responses across climatic gradients, Dr. Rosbakh contributes significantly to predicting how plant communities might respond to ongoing climate change. His work on the ReSurveyEurope database represents a major collaborative effort to document vegetation changes across the continent.

Dr. Rosbakh actively collaborates with researchers across Europe and has published in leading ecological journals including Ecology and Evolution, Plant Cell and Environment, and Journal of Vegetation Science. His publications from 2024-2025 show an active research trajectory with multiple high-impact papers currently in press.
