My research concentrates on understanding how forest ecosystem components respond to disturbance in nature, how they adapt to it and compete for resources. It is based on understanding relationships inside ecosystem, uptake, allocation, and environmental factors dynamics. My research approach is experimental and I use gas-exchange and statistical techniques, including microenvironmental measurements, CN-analizer, etc. The research is being carried out in Tura Experimental Forest (Evenkia, Russia), Experimental Station "Chernoe Ozero" on LTER sites, in boreal forests in Boguchany (Siberia, Russia) and temperate forests in Far East of Russia, and in Tomakomai Experimental Forest and Sapporo Experimental Forest in Hokkaido (Japan) on LTER sites. The work on gas exchange of different components of ecosystem is largely concerned with species composition, environmental and nutrient conditions, ecophysiology of forest soil and rhizosphere environment, spatial and temporal heterogeneity, human and nature disturbances. I am also investigating the potential impact of global change (elevated CO2, nitrogen deposition, temperature rise and changes in soil moisture) on ecosystems. I use annual plants from a wide range of ecosystems, tropical trees and temperate forest trees. I address physiological, population in these studies and the potential for change in biological diversity and in functional ecosystem changes brought about by the interaction of global change factors.
