Jenna Hölttä

Jenna Hölttä is a Doctoral Researcher at the University of Helsinki’s Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciences, affiliated with the Biological Stations and the Macrophyte Biodiversity Research Group. Her research focuses on marine biodiversity, particularly seagrass and aquatic vascular plant communities.

• PhD thesis investigates community assembly processes and functional traits in macrophyte communities under climate change.
• Active in the FRISCO project (2023–2027) funded by the Academy of Finland, analyzing the importance of functional traits in seagrass stability.

Research Trends: Recent work emphasizes environmental gradients' impacts on aquatic plant functional composition and carbon storage, aligning with broader climate change and ecosystem resilience themes.
