Marleen Pallandt

Marleen Pallandt is a researcher at Stockholm University's Department of Physical Geography, specializing in terrestrial biogeochemical cycles and vegetation modeling. She holds a BSc in Biology (vegetation ecology) and an MSc in GIS & Remote Sensencing from Wageningen University.

• Current focus: Soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics in climate change scenarios
• Expertise: LPJ-GUESS modeling, remote sensing, carbon-water cycle interactions

Research Interests:

• Terrrestrial biosphere modeling
• Soil moisture-temperature effects on SOC decomposition
• Remote sensing applications for vegetation monitoring
• Climate change impacts on carbon cycling

Key Contributions:

• Developed vertical microbial SOC models to assess drought effects
• Co-developed the coupled C-N-P QUINCY biosphere model
• Investigated spectral monitoring of heathland habitats

Affiliations:

• Stockholm University (since 2024, HoliSoils project)
• Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry (PhD candidate, 2018-2024)
• Wageningen University (researcher, 2010-2015)
