Caroline Greiser

I am a landscape ecologist with a broad background in geosciences, biology and conservation. My current research circles around climate at organism-relevant scales, or so-called microclimate. I measure, model and map temperatures near the ground and investigate how this small-scale variation affects ground-dwelling plants and animals. I have worked with mosses, lichens, vascular plants and insects – mainly in the Swedish forest or agricultural landscape. I am getting more and more interested in water, and currently investigate how soil moisture drives forest microclimate. During my master's program, I intensively studied peatlands and palaeoecology and carry since a passion for these fascinating ecosystems and landscape archives.
