Personal profile

Short presentation

My research concentrates on ecosystem responses to air pollution and climate change - in particular impacts on ecosystem functioning and feedback to the atmospohere. I have in particular used ecosystem manipulation to understand these impacts - latest through the VILLUM foundation Centre of Excellence CLIMAITE, where KU, DTU and AU collaborated to investigate impacts of single and multifactor climate change on shrubland ecosystems. Currently my particular research focus is on extreme events and impacts on ecosystem functioning

Primary fields of research
