About

Professor Sara Cousins is a faculty member at Stockholm University in Sweden. Her research focuses on the interactions between climate, forest structure, and floral resources, particularly in relation to pollinator foraging and plant diversity. Recent publications include studies on the effects of climate change on boreal ecosystems and how urbanization impacts insect herbivory and plant communities across Europe.

Microclimate and forest density drive plant population dynamics under climate change

Floral resources in Swedish grasslands remain relatively stable under an experimental drought and are enhanced by soil amendments if regularly mown

Grassland species colonization of a restored grassland on a former forest varies in short‐term success but is facilitated by greater functional connectivity

Urban forest microclimates across temperate Europe are shaped by deep edge effects and forest structure

Variability in bat morphology is influenced by temperature and forest cover and their interactions

Green infrastructure can promote plant functional connectivity in a grassland species around fragmented semi‐natural grasslands in NW‐Europe

Context matters: the landscape matrix determines the population genetic structure of temperate forest herbs across Europe

Forest understorey communities respond strongly to light in interaction with forest structure, but not to microclimate warming
