معرفی
Dr. Johan van den Hoogen is affiliated with the Global Ecosystem Ecology Professorship at ETH Zürich's Department of Environmental Systems Science (UNH). His research focuses on ecosystem ecology, climate change impacts, hydrological processes, and soil microbiology. He investigates global patterns in forest functional traits, soil biogeochemical cycles, and the interplay between land-use changes and microbial diversity.
Key contributions include global analyses of tree wood density distributions, soil temperature dynamics, and biodiversity-carbon storage relationships. His work on flood risk management integrates social media data (e.g., Twitter/X) to assess disaster impacts, emphasizing early warning systems and evacuation modeling. He collaborates extensively with international teams, publishing in journals like Hydrological Sciences Journal, Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, and Nature Water.
His research spans socio-hydrology, forest restoration potential, and microbial-driven carbon losses. Recent studies address the role of soil microorganisms in global biogeochemical cycles and the biogeographic distribution of fungal-bacterial ratios across ecosystems.
