Biography
Between-year fluctuations in growth, population size and flowering in northern plant populations
In Carex bigelowii and three species of Pinguicula, populations have been monitored for three decades and size and reproductive parameters have been obtained. The Pinguicula work is done in cooperation with Brita Svensson.
Together with Brita Svensson, I study endangered grassland species on Gotland
Specifically, we investigate the roles played by hemiparasitic species in determining community structure and composition.
