Our research investigates processes in ecosystems belowground, particularly how roots and their associated rhizobiome are influenced by climate and land-use change. We quantify carbon and nutrient pools and fluxes in belowground at different scales, ranging from molecular to landscape level, to assess ecosystems response to environmental conditions. We are working in a variety of ecosystems, including subarctic ecosystems, boreal and temperate forests, free-air manipulation experiments backed up with experiments in controlled climate chamber conditions. As such, we invoke tools from a wide range of disciplines, including landscape and ecosystem ecology, ecophysiology, microbial ecology and soil science. Last but not least, we apply innovative technologies based on different 'omics, geoinformatics, and machine learning approaches.
