My main research interest is chemical ecology of boreal trees. I have worked extensively on how environmental changes, including elevated levels of temperature, CO2, ultraviolet- and ionizing radiation, light intensity,and nitrogen, affect the levels of phenolic defenses. In addition to trees, I have also studied various species of higher plants and lichens from both forests and arctic-alpine ecosystems. I am also interested in how plant- and fungi derived compounds contributes to the carbon storage in soils, and how trees influence the belowground microbiome. The last years I have also been involved in projects looking at the effects of light quality and temperature on tree phenology.

I received my PhD from the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) in 2003, for which I looked at UV-screening in arctic-alpine higher plants and lichens. Subsequently, I got a personal post doc grant from the Norwegian Research Council (NRC) on lichen compounds. These three years I spent largely at NMBU, and had six months stay at the University of Eastern Finland (UEF, Joensuu). I was later employed at UEF for three years as a university researcher, looking at climate change effects on dioecious tree species. From 2011 I have been employed a NMBU, first as associate professor, and from 2015 as a professor in forest ecology.

    Projects

    Forests4Society: Forest functions in the past, present and future - what can society expect from forests under climate change?
    Forests4Society will evaluate the ability of managed forests to provide ecosystem functions under future climatic conditions and focuses on the effects of drought and heathwaves occurrence in the Czech Republic and Norway.

    From spruce to beech forests - fundamental ecosystem transformation driven by climate change
    We ask: how will climate change and other stress factors interact to transform spruce ecosystems to beech ecosystems in the future?

    External projects

    EcoForest: Forestry effects on biodiversity, carbon stocks and ecological processes in mature boreal forests
