Crazy polar explorer, and vege(tation) enthusiast!

Glad to share our new paper on current radioisotopes accumulation by lichens across Scandinavia and Poland which well reflects the contamination caused by Chernobyl disaster in 1986 ⏳📄📊

That feeling when you open your high-detailed terrain model recreated from drone data from 2019 & 2020 fieldwork and you wonder how 2021 season will look like...

Pleased to be invited by MDPI Sustainability journal as a Guest Editor and I am happy to announce the Special Issue 'Svalbard Biodiversity: New Insights for Conservation'. Have a look at it and consider submitting a paper! https://t.co/v3tnt2pUkc

@mountainecology @STOTEN_journal Forestry practices also aim to enrich the substrate for better tree development, and this is not beneficial to lichens in long perspective.

@mountainecology @STOTEN_journal I would say that windthrow/tree senescence is not enought to maintain these habitats. Light is crucial for lichens but they also prefer soils rather poor in nutrients. Successional development of forest ecosystem favour the growth of bryophytes and vascular plants not lichens.

Another piece of data on browning sites and winter warming experiment sites collected with drone ☺️ #fieldwork #vegetation #drone #GIS

Some Classic point framing coupled with high precision GPS. We will get to the bottom of this browning 🧐 #browning #fieldwork #Latnjajaure #ecology #BSC #biologicalsoilcrusts

It’s fantastic working in Latnjajaure, no matter the weather. Despite what the photos show, there is a bad weather bias to what is captured during field work! #ITEX #phenology #browning #vegetation
