About me

I am a landscape ecologist with an interest in patterns and determinants of species richness and composition in space and time in both natural and human modified landscapes. I have most experience from forest systems (boreal forest and montane tropical forests), but have also been studying tropical agricultural landscapes. See more about the research projects, involved people and news on www.hylanderecology.com.

I am serving as Head of Department since Aug 1, 2021.

Teaching

Courses

I am not teaching very much during the time I serve as head of department, other than a few presentations at different courses.

Master students

I supervise master students regularly. If you are a student: check my research projects and see if you get inspired to do a project on landscape ecology in Sweden or perhaps in Ethiopia.

Research

1) Variation in local climate and how that affects the performance and distribution of plants (both vascular plants, bryophytes and lichens)

Under this theme I do research with support primarily from Formas and the Bolin Centre for Climate Research at Stockholm University (see link).

2) Water, biodiversity and ecosystem services across Ethiopian agroecosystems

I have much involvement in Ethiopia since many years now. Right now I have an interdisciplinary project focusing on water in the landscape and it variable use, quality, biodiversity content across land-use gradients. Moreover, I am heavily involved in other projects on biodiversity, coffee diseases and climate in coffee agroforestry togheter wtih Prof. Ayco Tack who is the PI of those projects.
