Lasse Tarvainen is a Senior Lecturer specializing in plant ecophysiology with a research focus on the interactions between trees, their growth, and the environment in boreal, tropical, and urban settings. He is particularly interested in trees and ecosystems affected by resource limitations and environmental stressors such as climate change, air pollution, and nutrient limitations. Tarvainen's work includes investigations on how aboveground components of trees contribute to total carbon cycling in forest ecosystems. He is the Principal Investigator in strategic research areas related to Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in Changing Climate (BECC) and Modelling Regional Global Earth System (MERGE). His collaborative research has led to significant publications in high-profile journals such as 'New Phytologist', 'Ecological Indicators', and 'Forest Ecology and Management', focusing on diverse topics including photosynthetic heat tolerance and the physiological effects of elevated ozone on trees. Tarvainen's expertise extends to understanding carbon budgets and the impacts of environmental variables on tree physiology and ecology.
Administered by the Department of Political Science; focus on International Administration and Global Governance (IAGG).
