| I am interested in how biotic interactions and environmental changes impact plant communities and consequently ecosystem functioning. Currently I am studying how biodiversity responds to biotic and abiotic changes and moderates ecosystem functions. In my research I combine experimental field studies and controlled greenhouse experiments. Link of interest: https://www.arcticcirc.net/researchers/elina-kaarlejrvi |
