My research has two main foci: 1. Simulating
the effects of global change and changes in atmospheric composition on the structure
and functioning of terrestrial ecosystems, ecosystem services through the
Holocene to the future. Vegetation dynamics, species distributions and
biodiversity at global, regional and local scales are a particular focus. My research over
the years has involved both development and application of various models
including the forest gap model FORSKA2, STASH, Biome, LPJ and LPJ-GUESS. 2. Developing
and applying theories of plant species
co-existence, the maintenance of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning with
particular regard to the role of historical land use. The
research has centred on field, GIS and modelling studies in cultural
landscapes on the Baltic island of Öland.
