I have been engaged in ecological and ecotoxicological studies since 1983 when I started the research presented in my masters thesis. Today the studies I am doing involves microarthropods, Lumbricidae and Enchytraeidae in agricultural land and disturbed habitats. I have gained expertise in using soil fauna as bioindicators of soil quality through numerous studies for governmental institutions and for the industry. My research encompasses studies of ecological interactions between microflora and mesofauna in mesocosms and in field experiments.

Thus, the key focus of my activities have been the assessment of ecological soil quality of habitats exposed to stress of various kinds. Functional properties along with biodiversity of soil fauna are the main indicators used in assessment studies. This concept for ecological risk assessment is important in advisory and research tasks for the Danish EPA and the industry.

My consultancy services are to deliver standard ecotoxicological procedures in compliance with GLP.

Presently my main activity is to co-ordinate the EU supported ECOGEN project.
