Tibor Standovár is an associate professor and department head at the Department of Plant Systematics, Ecology and Theoretical Biology, Institute of Biology, Loránd Eötvös University in Budapest. His major research interest is in biodiversity conservation in forests. He has led and participated in several projects on studying tree stand and vegetation dynamics of untouched forest reserves, patterns, causes and consequences of large-scale ice and wind disturbances in managed forests and on the effects of tree stand structures on the occurrence of forest-dwelling species (herbs, birds, xylophagous beetles). In the past two decades his interest has turned into more applied topics in collaboration with national parks and forestry companies including the development of monitoring schemes to assess forest naturalness.
