Jukka Pumpanen

Professor, University of Eastern Finland

Profersson in Microbial Biogeochemistry

The research work of is focusing on greenhouse gas balances of forest soils and soil microbiology as a driver of respiration and soil organic matter decomposition and the greenhouse gas fluxes between soil and the atmosphere. His recent work has been focusing on the long-term effects of disturbances on carbon balances of forest ecosystems. He is also studying the lateral flows of carbon and nutrients between terrestrial and aquatic systems.
Frank Berninger

Professor, University of Eastern Finland

Professor in Plant Ecology

is a versatile plant ecologist with a love for fieldwork and mathematical methods. His current interest is on the long term effects of disturbances on forests and the interactions of plants, roots and inland waters as well as on large scale variations ecological processes (using big data). In addition, he has an interest in biochar as a tool to improve the environment.
