Kristoffer Hylander
PI
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.

Postdoc
My main interest is to understand plant distribution patterns. To this end I digitize and analyze historical range maps and relate range shifts to changes in land use, climate and plant traits.
