My background is in forest restoration ecology, peatland science and soil science. Currently, I am interested in helping restore soils and terrestrial ecosystems: forests, peatlands, grasslands and agricultural lands. I am also interested in studying the distribution of cultural ecosystems services and human-nature connections.
