Forest Landscape Biogeochemistry Print E-mail
DSCN1069Our major research objectives are oriented towards understanding the biogeochemical transformation and cycling of energy, water, carbon, nitrogen and other elements in the boreal landscape. We work across spatial scales from the molecular level to the landscape level.  At the landscape level both forest, mire and stream ecosystems are included as well as how the role of landscape heterogeneity affect the biogeochemical cycling.

On the molecular scale we identify the mechanistic processes involved in the biogeochemical transformation of elements and their environmental controls. Much of our research is focused on the exchange processes between ecosystems and the atmosphere and hydrosphere respectively. One important tool in our research is the close access to a number of intensively instrumented research field sites.
