We are a group of ecologists that study the role of plants in terrestrial ecosystems. We have our focus at northern latitudes, in areas where the boreal, alpine and arctic biomes meet. We typically use large-scale study designs in order for our research to be context independent, and we typically study the role of plants through plant-plant and plant-herbivore interactions. Our interests and approaches are manifold.


Have a look!
