Edina is a research fellow at the MTA-DE Lendület Functional and Restoration Ecology Research Group, and at the Department of Ecology, University of Debrecen. She received her PhD in early 2018, the topic of her doctoral dissertation was the effects of grazing on saline grasslands in relation to grazing intensity. During her research work she is also focusing on this topic and she is responsible for the creation of PADAPT (Pannonian Database of Plant Traits). In her work, she tries to explore the trait-based effects of grazing on different grasslands. She considers it important to create a database containing data on the Hungarian flora so that local researches can give a more realistic picture of the management of our valuable grasslands.
