Specialties of Georg Leitinger:
strong expertise in systems ecology and landscape ecology of mountain ecosystems, performing process analysis on various temporal and spatial scales ranging from the ecosystem to the landscape level research encompassing field experiments as well as development and implementation of statistical models and scenario techniques main research focus: analysis of the ecological effects of land-use changes in mountain regions with special regard to biodiversity, vegetation changes, potential risks, water and carbon cycle, and multiple ecosystem services and incorporating links to socioeconomic research latest research: (1) assessment of water balance in alpine environments using rainfall simulation, lysimeters, and surface runoff collectors; (2) analyses of surface energy balance by thermal imaging with regard to model evapotranspiration and sensible heat flux of different land-cover types; (3) Analysing impacts of global change on ecosystem services (modeling of ES and trade-off analyses
