Short presentation
My research focuses on organic matter cycling in inland waters, and more specifically in zones colonized by aquatic plants.
I am currently leading a group of two PhD students (main supervisor) and one postdoc working on:
-Greenhouse gas emissions in littoral zones (Anna Nyberg)
-The climate footprint of macrophytes (Pauline Balk)
-Peatland rewetting and greenhouse gas emissions (Shokoufeh Salimi).
I also contribute to larger project (CLIMIPHY, RELITORATE) connected to these topics.

Coastline of lakes an important part of global carbon cycle
In a recently published article, we show that the carbon balance of lakes can reverse from a net source to a net sink when littoral zones are included.
