Research

My research now focuses on greenhouse gas exchange between the drained peatland forests and the atmosphere, primarily using eddy covariance systems and chamber measurements. I'm interested in the responses of ecosysyem water, carbon, and energy fluxes to the environmental conditions particularly under a changing climate. My previous research concerned water-carbon relationships in a vineyard and application of an ecosystem model (MAESPA) to invetigate on ecosystem processes.
