I am an ecologist interested in conservation, forests and lichens. I am especially interested in the development of lichen communities on kelo trees over time after the tree death, and in the species composition of the oldest kelo trees. I did my Master's thesis about epiphytic lichens on aspens in old-growth forest conservation areas at the University of Jyväskylä.
