I examine the effects of different global change factors (e.g., climate change, nutrient enrichment) on plant biodiversity and how changes in plant communities reflect to ecosystem functioning. I am especially interested in which mechanisms (e.g., plant competition) drive biodiversity change, and my research is based on experimental investigation of these mechanisms under experimentally manipulated global change factors. The findings of my research can be applied to, for example, understanding of climate change -imposed shifts in vegetation and ecosystem functioning, and in climate change impact mitigation and restoration actions.
