Understanding processes governing land ecosystems and their capacity to deliver multiple ecosystem services requires broad research disciplines. In my work, I explore the interaction between plant, soil, and water dynamics in different agroecological systems including managed grasslands, peatlands, grasslands and cropping systems.
Two research areas are my main focus. First is understanding soil-water-plant growth dynamics including ecosystem biodiversity and the connection between below/above-ground components. Second is the response of agroecosystems to climate change and climatic extremes and their implication for greenhouse gas emissions (CO2, N2O, and CH4).
My research covers different spatial and temporal scales and benefits from observational and experimental knowledge as well as process-based modeling, and remote sensing technology. I endorse developing innovative methods based on assimilating real-time remote-sensing data into agroecosystem models for upscaling from field to landscape, climate change impact assessment, and finding strategies for sustainable operations of ecosystems.
