Information om forskning och undervisning

My work is about taxonomy, phylogeny, distribution and nomenclature of vascular plants, focusing taxonomically on Asteraceae (Cichorieae and Cardueae) and Rosaceae (Malinae) and territorially on Europe, Central Asia and South-East Asia.

My main research project at the University of Helsinki is Atlas Florae Europaeae, the large-scale grid mapping of the distribution of vascular plants in Europe.

In taxonomy, I am involved in revisions of Hieracium s.l., Lactuca s.l., Cousinia s.l. (Asteraceae), Cotoneaster and Sorbus s.l. (Rosaceae). I am also contributing to the phylogeny of Cichorieae and Cardueae (Asteraceae).

In revisions of particular territories, I am contributing to the flora of Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Finland and Russia.

Additionally, I am involved in revision of nomenclature of particular plant groups and in general questions of plant nomenclature. This activity is resulted from my participation in the Nomenclature Committee for Vascular Plants (at International Association for Plant Taxonomy).

Serving the botanical community, I act as Subject Editor (Asteraceae, Rosaceae, Central Asia, Plant Nomenclature) for Nordic Journal of Botany, Phytokeys and Phytotaxa.
