David Zelený is an associate professor and vegetation ecologist with 11 years of academic experience studying plant community ecology, focusing on alpha and beta diversity, spatial patterning, and trait-based assembly rules. Trained with a PhD in Botany, he combines strong multivariate and methodological expertise with practical vegetation classification work. After a long career in temperate Europe, he has recently redirected his research to subtropical ecosystems in East Asia while based at National Taiwan University. His background spans research roles from assistant to scientific researcher, reflecting a sustained trajectory of field-driven, quantitative ecology.
