I am interested in how nitrogen vs. phosphorus limitation for plant communities in
subarctic ecosystems is influenced bysundqvist_m_webb temperature, and how this in turn affect ecosystem functioning. I study this across an elevational gradient that ranges from alpine birch forest to midalpine tundra, situated close to Abisko in northern Sweden.

I started my PhD in September 2007 and during the field season I work at CIRC (Climate Impact Research Centre) at Abisko Scientific Research Station, and for the remaining part of the year I work in Umeå.
