Personal profile
Short presentation
I am a PhD student at the Section for Forest and Landscape Ecology, where I am investigating the development of biodiversity in new forests with a focus on plant and fungi, and how they are affected by humans and the environment.
My interests are broad and cover theoretical topics like community ecology and vegetation dynamics, as well as practical aspects such as management, conservation and modelling.
