Dr Sara Lukić was born on June 7th 1974 in Valjevo (Serbia), where she finished primary school and high school.

She participates in bachelor, master and PhD studies at University of Belgrade Faculty of Forestry.

She deals with the study of the environmental effects of the application of ameliorative measures and techniques on the soil and land affected by various forms of degradation, including extremely degraded lands such as bare land and sites of former mining activities. She is also concerned in study of protective forest belts (shelterbelts and windbreaks): the efficiency of shelterbelts in wind speed reduction in relation to structure and porosity of the shelterbelt in field conditions, the efficiency of tree species and agricultural crops in wind erosion reduction, etc. The aim of these studies is to identify the potentials of water and wind erosion control measures and techniques for sustainable land management.

She have participated as a researcher in 10 scientific projects, among them the project Research of Climate Change on the Environment: Monitoring Impact, Adaptation and Mitigation (43007) financed by Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Serbia. She also participated in a number of projects professional projects.

She published more than 50 scientific articles in the field of forest restoration, afforestation, protective forest belts/shelterbelts, land reclamation and carbon sequestration. Also, she is author of the textbook “Protective Forest Belts”. She is Guest Editor of the Sustainability Journal Special Issue “Sustainable Geomatics and Civil Engineering”.

She actively participates in the work and activities of the bodies and commissions of the Faculty of Forestry and she is the Chairman of Chair of Amelioration.
