Albert Berdjour

A postdoctoral researcher specializing in carbon and water fluxes, with particular emphasis on plot-level carbon flux responses to leys that differ in composition, from mono-cultures to biodiverse mixtures. My current work integrates carbon flux data with environmental variables and plant traits. This work is also link with an accopanying study assessing the ecosystem-scale exchanges of carbon and water in a typical agricultural crop rotation in Northern Sweden.
