Professor, University of Eastern Finland
Profersson in Microbial Biogeochemistry
The research work of Jukka Pumpanen 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.

Professor in Plant Ecology
Frank Berninger 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.

PhD Student, University of Eastern Finland
The objective of Taija Saarela's doctoral thesis is to investigate how catchment area characteristics affect the water quality and greenhouse gas emissions from freshwater ecosystems. She aims 1) to study how the quality and microbial degradability of terrestrially derived dissolved organic matter (DOM) vary among catchments with different land cover (e.g. vegetation, soil properties) and land use (i.e. forest management practices), and 2) how these further regulate the production and consumption of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) in streams and lakes.
In addition, she is interested in biochar applications to decrease the DOM and nutrient load on aquatic systems.
