Short intro: I am vegetation scientist and macroecologist, interested in biological invasions, impacts of Global Change on Communities and Ecosystems. Lately, I started to monitor vegetation succession in glacier forefields of four Northern Limestone glaciers.

Earlier this year we published this paper calling for the redirection of conservation attention toward processes at the heart of ecosystem function,

including adaptation, gene flow, dispersal, and trophic interactions.

A snow covered, rugged Mountain range with a glacier in the middle ground that mirrors in a lake in the foreground. To the right are spruce forests in the dark shoddow with some limestone summits above, to the left spruce and some colourful deciduous trees lit by the sun. Blue sky with white clouds. The sun shines through a cloud in the upper right corner.
