Department of Biotechnics and Landscape Modeling
The department focuses on research into the morphometric, biochemical, and physiological parameters of plants in urbanized environments, modeling landscape structures, and analyzing health-promoting substances in crops for beverage production. It also works on optimizing technological production processes with an emphasis on the nutritional and sensory quality of products.
Department profile
The Department of Biotechnics and Landscape Modeling focuses on research activities aimed at urbanized environments and beverage production. Its work is divided into two main laboratories.
- Determination of plant parameters: Quantification of morphometric, biochemical, and physiological parameters of trees and herbs indicating water deficiency.
- Landscape Modeling: Structural and morphological analysis of landscape components, modeling of cultural and natural heritage.
- Data screening under controlled conditions and in specific areas in settlements and country – creation of Landscape Model,
- Crop Quality Study: Analysis of the nutritional composition and content of health-promoting substances in fruits, vegetables, and grapes for beverage and wine production.
- Utilization of Unconventional Crops: Selection and use of lesser-known fruit and vegetable species with a high content of health-promoting substances.
- Optimization of Production Processes: Regulation of the technological production process of wine and beverages to ensure high nutritional and sensory quality.
