Research interests
My PhD focused on understanding the impacts and influences of natural disturbance, different harvesting scenarios and stand succession on structural (complexity, size variability) and compositional (regeneration, trees, CWD) responses of forest stands using experimental and modelling (SORTIE-ND) approaches. In addition, I have a strong interest in understanding/modelling the drivers influencing biodiversity and carbon sequestration. Building on my PhD research experience in boreal ecology and silviculture and stand-level modelling, I am interested in branching out and pursuing new research opportunities that could combine forest dynamics and modelling with assessment of how climate change may influence forest succession and other ecosystem processes and how these changes would affect ecosystem function, notably in terms of biodiversity and carbon pools.
