Profile

Forest and Ecosystem Resilience

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.
