Research environment: forest, peatland

Taxonomic group of interest: vascular plants

Field of research: biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, ecophysiology

Land use under investigation: forestry

Anthropogenic impact under investigation: climate change, pollution (including from light and noise)







I am interested about dynamic plant processes and biodiversity under changing environment, with a special focus on northern forest trees and environmental stresses (such as greenhouse gases, water and temperature stress). My group combines ecophysiologically relevant field studies with novel research approaches, particularly metabolomics and novel imaging techniques. I am also active in developing international university networking and a member/representative in Finnish Nature Panel, European Plant Science Organisation and IUFRO.
