RESEARCH INTERESTS <\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr Feurdean is a palaeoecologist who examines how vegetation interacts with its environment across time and space. Her research encompasses diverse ecosystems, including temperate forests, cold environments (alpine, subalpine-alpine, arctic, and boreal), temperate grasslands, and wetlands across Europe, Siberia, and Alaska. Her work addresses terrestrial vegetation dynamics (composition, diversity, turnover, tipping points) in response to climate and disturbance regimes (fire, herbivory, antopogenic impact) and peatland development and its role in carbon storage. She employs various methods such as pollen and plant macrofossil, charcoal morphology, dung fungal spore, sediment geochemistry, stable isotope analyses, and modeling to explore these topics.<\/p>\n
