Tijana Nikolić Lugonja

Position:Research associate

Academic Rank: Research associate in the field of natural/mathematical sciences - biology

Tijana Nikolić is senior researcher at BioSense Institute with a PhD in ecology from the Faculty of Science, University of Novi Sad. She works with spatial prioritization of natural and semi natural habitat in agricultural landscapes, needed to protect agro biodiversity, improve soil quality and secure food production. The main focus is on integrated landscape management that entail food production, biodiversity and climate change across sectors and stakeholders to meet the range of short and long term societal needs.
