Work experience
My scientific work includes independent studies, studies in collaboration with colleagues and studies conducted with research students. I was a principal investigator (soil scientist) in research projects on “An integrative geo-ecological and socio-economic approach to desertification and sustainable land use under climate change” and on "The spatial patterns of soil moisture", supported by the German-Israeli Research Foundation (GLOWA Jordan River Project), and on "Effects of flocks of sheep and goats on surface cover, soil characteristics and on soil and water conservation in semi-arid rangelands", supported by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. Also, I investigate the effects of human activities on soil and vegetation in different micro-environments in urban open areas. _x000D_
I think that a change in the tempo-spatial patterns of soil properties indicates an environmental change. Therefore all the above studies are focused on the relationships between the temporal dynamics, in various scales, of the spatial distribution of soil properties, and the climatic conditions or land use.
