About
I am a plant ecologist interested in understanding why species grow where they grow, and which factors influence changes in spatial species occurrence in mountain ecosystems.
In my PhD project I am examining the influences of hiking trails on vegetation shifts in mountains in the Northern Scandes. The project is part contributes to the work of the MIREN network that examines the effects of global change on species’ distributions and biodiversity in mountainous areas . I am especially interested in biotic interactions, SDMs (species distribution models) and finding new ways of collecting ecological data - be it with drones or by citizen scientists using an app on their mobile phones. I am part of the group of Bente Graae, who is my main supervisor. René van der Wal and Jonas Lembrechts co-supervise my PhD project.
I enjoy teaching and am contributing to the following courses in the department of biology:

Course:BI3036 |
Plant ecology |
