My research interests have been: Greenhouse gas (GHG ) fluxes and biogeochemical cycles in drained or disturbed peatlands; GHG fluxes from agricultural and forest soils under different management (e.g. manure, min. N or ash fertilization); GHG fluxes from geothermal areas; Nitrous oxide dynamics at low soil temperatures; HONO (nitrous acid) emissions and production mechanisms in boreal soils
