Dr. Maria-Theresa Jessen


I am a plant ecologist interested in the interactive effects of global change drivers on plant community composition and diversity. I primarily work in experimental grasslands subjected to nutrient enrichment and loss of large mammalian herbivores. In my current postdoc I am looking at cascading effects of fertilization on (below-ground) disturbance activity by small mammalian herbivores and possible links to above-ground plant community diversity.
