About me
Having a PhD in forest ecology, I work as postdoctoral researcher at Jyvaskyla University in the Boreal Ecosystems Research Group in forest landscape and community ecology, and conservation biology. My current subject focus (i) on past biodiversity responses to joint effects of land use and climate change, and (ii) on future trends using simulation tools. My PhD subject was about the consequences of forest dieback on habitats and resources, and consequently on communities, especially arthropods. Before that, I have a technical background with professional studies in forestry management and a degree in forestry engineering.
About my research
My research interests lie in understanding the functioning of forest ecosystems and their responses to global changes. This includes biotic and abiotic interactions, consequences of natural and anthropogenic disturbances, land-use intensity, conservation biology and functional ecology. My current focus is on understanding the consequences of global changes (e.g. changing anthropogenic and natural disturbance regimes) on temperate and boreal forests.
