Tuija Maliniemi
PhD
Postdoctoral Researcher
Biography
I am a physical geographer and a plant ecologist working as a postdoctoral researcher at the Geography Research Unit. My research focus is on long-term vegetation changes and their underlying drivers along different spatial scales in northern environments. Currently, I am exploring the effects of changing land use on plant diversity and the potential of geodiversity in maintaining plant diversity under global changes.
