Announcement: I will start as an assistant professor of ecohydrology at the University of Oulu starting from January. Snow, microclimate and Arctic-alpine ecosystems still on focus. Stay tuned for soon-to-be-opened Postdoc and PhD positions! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

New preprint! How do leaf functional traits vary within a growing season? 🌿🍃☘️ We sampled 6 traits of 11 species over 15 weeks, and found that traits vary greatly, and every growth form followed their own pattern 🦄 Species rank remained somewhat same! @niittynen.bsky.social doi.org/10.22541/au....

New article! To what extent community-level knowledge on species abundances helps in predicting species traits? 🌿☘️🍃 We used joint species-trait distribution modeling to link species abundances to trait variation. By Nerea Abrego, @niittynen.bsky.social, me & Otso Ovaskainen doi.org/10.1002/ecy....

Thank you to everyone who presented in our #microclimate change session today @imc2025.bsky.social! @jlembrechts.bsky.social, @niittynen.bsky.social & I were very happy with the contributions & discussions. Great to see microclimate getting more attention in high-elevation ecosystems 🏔🌡❄️💧

Hey, fellow ecologists but especially #soil scientists! A complete novice asking: is there a field-based method to measure the approximate age profile of soil organic #carbon E.g., estimate how much is input from very recent years vs. decades vs. hundreds years ago? (1/2)

I started this account a year ago, but now it’s time for an #introduction! (1/X) Here, in @bsky.app, I'm primarily planning to connect with my fellow scientists and naturally with people otherwise interested in the same topics: mainly #Snow #mountains #biodiversity #microclimate and #plants
