I work with experimental plant physiology, and do experiments in the field and under controlled environment conditions in the Phytotron. Previously, I have worked with the effects of nitrogen deposition on alpine graminoids, freeze tolerance of grasses, root-soil interactions and different aspects of heat and herbivore stress in spruce plants. I have also studied the abiotic stress of tropsopheric ozone on several herbaceous species, partly using biophysical methods. I studied the effects of long daylength (like during summer in Nordic countries) on increasing the development of ozone-induced injuries. The causal link between the light signalling molecule phytochrome and the observed daylength dependent response was established. Since 2017, I have led a project on this subject, connected to climate modelling of the present and future climates and ozone levels in subarctic areas. This project is named "The double punch: ozone and climate stresses on vegetation" and is further described on a separate page, see link on the right.

From 2012 to 2018 I have studied several plant physiological and ecological aspects of an environmentally friendly method of protecting planted spruce seedlings (Picea abies) against pine weevils (Hylobius abietis), feeding on the bark. The previosly dominant method has been the use of different insecticides, including neonicotinoids, causing trouble for bee populations. The alternative method includes application of melted wax on the lower shoot parts of seedlings before they are planted in the forest. When the wax is cooled, it forms a physical barrier protecting the bark. In 2015, a field experiment (Alvogran) was established in a coastal forest in Vestfold, in an area with high abundance of pine weevils. The protective properties of an insecticide (the neonicotinoid imidacloprid) and wax were compared over a period of two summer seasons. It is normally assumed that the young spruce plants need protection for two years after a clear-felling. These are the years with the highest abundance of pine weevils and at the same time the most important period for the young plants, when it comes to getting established in their new environment. Similar experiments were planted in nine locations in Norway during 2016 and 2017, adding up the data about the success of the method in protecting the seedlings for two years. The wax method is as efficient as the insecticide method, or better, when it comes to survival of seedlings after two summer seasons in all sites.

The wax is hot when it is applied, so the effects of heat have been among the subjects I have studied. Root growth is important for the establishment of young spruce plants in the field. Therefore, root development have been given extra attention, for instance via an X-ray micro-computerized tomography (CT) method of studying undisturbed roots inside a soil core. This study was performed at the University of Nottingham, UK.
