About

I am a plant ecologist focusing on land use and climate effects on plant communities in Arctic/alpine/subarctic ecosystems, temperate and boreal forests and savanna ecosystems. I did my PhD at University of Copenhagen on how forest history shape the plant communities we see now in Danish forests. I am still having fun with forest of questions through the network Fleur. After my PhD I lived three years in Greenland being the scientific leader of the Field Station Arctic station, run by University of Copenhagen and thereafter 5 years in Abisko employed by Climate Impacts Research Center, Umeå University. Since 2009 I have been employed at NTNU with the opportunities to continue my activities in subarctic and alpine vegetation (see for instance ECOSHRUB and Microclim GLORIA) and furthermore work extensively in the Serengeti savanna ecosystem leading a WP in the Horizon2020 project AfricanBioServices.

In our group we also work with the ecology of the invasive species Impatiens glandulifera.

We are furthermore interested in conserving biodiversity and restoration of vegetation in and after big infrastructure development. We therefore take part in the Green Moveand NorthWind projects. We even are trying to “Rewild” the NTNU university park with our project Det Grønne Gløs with support from Fremtidens Campus.

I enjoy teaching and am occupied by developing non-digital teaching such as our board game Savanna Life for Natural Resources Management students.

Currently working in my group are:
