Dr. Nathalie Triches

My research interests span multiple ecosystems and scales. I am particularly interested in ecosystem dynamics and biodiversity change across time and space, with a focus on identifying and preserving habitats and communities of conservation concern, and identifying their role in the global carbon and nitrogen cycles. My main focus is on forests and peatlands. 

At the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry, my research focuses on greenhouse gas flux measurements from (sub-) Arctic peatlands. Within the ERC project Q-ARCTIC, I explore spatial and temporal patterns of nitrous oxide, methane, and carbon dioxide fluxes across different micro habitats and within different seasons in the Arctic. I will further investigate how various disturbances caused by global warming affect these fluxes. Please have a look at my MPI-IPAS webpage to learn more about my exciting project.
