In sub-projects, he has also been interested in the invasion biology of ornamental plants (especially in abandoned settlements), seasonal changes of dry grasslands, regional floristics (especially in North Bohemia) and popularization of botany (he was the editor-in-chief of the journal Botanika). He is active in the field of nature conservation as coordinator of the Landscape Platform (nasekrajina.eu) and head of the local association. He studied biology and geobotany at Charles University in Prague, where he received his Ph.D. (2006) in the methodology of grid mapping of plants.
