Ben Jackson
I am currently a PhD student working with David Wardle and Marie-Charlotte Nilsson in the Department of Forest Ecology and Management.
My PhD research is titled: Regulation of litter decomposition and nutrient availability in Swedish and New Zealand forest ecosystems.
I started my PhD in September 2007 and have been conducting field and laboratory based investigations examining how plant species and plant functional traits influence the decomposition of plant litter. My work is divided between two study systems, the boreal forest in northern Sweden and the temperate rainforest on the west coast of New Zealand.
