PhD from Section for Terrestrial Ecology, Department of Biology, Copenhagen University

Competences: Experimental design; soil biology; qPCR sequencing and analysis; element cycling; stable isotope ecology; data management and statistical analysis in R; structural equation modelling.

PhD. project, ASHBACK:

-        Aim: Study the cascading effect of ash application on the decomposer food web and subsequent N mineralisation in a coniferous soil, and risk op cadmium accumulation in the food web.

-        Methods: Yearly sampling in a field experiment. Microscopy, taxonomy and enumeration of soil organisms. Structural equation modelling. Stable isotope analysis of soil mites. Cadmium analysis in soil organisms and plants. Greenhouse gas measurements and analysis. Multivariate analysis. Review writing.
