MSc
Doctoral researcher
I am a doctoral researcher in the Physical geography research group. I study the impacts of long-term vegetation changes on the ability of ecosystems to maintain important ecosystem functions and services in high-latitude environments, termed 'ecosystem condition'. In my dissertation, I examine temporal changes in treeless mountain heaths and herb-rich boreal forests.
