My research is focussed on the interactions between forest ecosystem service provisioning and forest management under ongoing climate change with transforming disturbance regimes in Europe. Using process-based forest growth model simulations with 4C (FORESEE) I am exploring different management, climate and disturbance scenarios regarding future ecosystem service provisioning shifts.
Furthermore, I have a background in forest inventory and remote sensing with experience in field work and scientific exchange with partners in Southern Africa, Southeastern as well as Central Asia.
