6. Main research interests

My main research topic is to investigate the drivers of both induced and constitutive production and emission of biogenic volatile organic compounds from trees and forest floor and how these emissions influence the chemical composition of the atmosphere. It is very important to study these aspects, since biogenic volatile organic compounds influence atmospheric aerosol formation and growth in forested areas and thus contribute to climate change. My previous research topics have for example included investigations of the atmospheric reactivity in the boreal forest ecosystem. I have published 21 papers in peer-review international journals. My H factor is 12 and my papers have been cited 457 times in international journals (405 without self-citation).
