My main research areas are ecology and natural resource management.

Currently, my research deals with:

• Forest biodiversity in the Baltic Sea region, including studies on forest succession, habitat closure and landscape ecology: relationships between landscape configuration and diversity and functional composition in local plant communities.
• The effect of carbon sinks on climat compensation in coastal environments.
• Natural resource management in rural Africa: environmental and societal effects of development interventions; community-based ecotourism and socio-environmental justice.
• Natural resource management in wetlands.
