The objective is to compare different
approaches to the functional facet of biodiversity and compare how they
jointly provide new ways to refine assessments of FD patterns and the
effect of human activity.
Global Functional
Diversity
This project aims to gather different
databases of functional traits of plants and vertebrates and exploring
the macro ecology of functional diversity among taxonomic groups in a
context of global change.
Cross-taxonomic diversity
The objective of this project is to study
the taxonomic and functional diversities patterns of taxonomic groups
representing contrasting ecosystems type and determine their congruence
at global and biogeographical realm scales.
GIS application for
conservation
The objectives is to evaluate the status of
the grassland in Estonia. This project was realized under the
supervision of Dr. Aveliina
Helm. My main task was developing GIS and R algorithms for
conservation prioritization maps. I also developed algorithms for Zonation
software.
