I started my PhD in February 2011. My PhD topic is the "Effect of understory vegetation on forest regeneration and response to disturbance".I will be looking at the way the understory vegetation affects the regeneration of four coniferous tree species (pine, spruce, larch and contorta pine), with focus on the mosses and dwarf-shrubs. Both positive and negative effects are of interest. When is there a window of opportunity for the regeneration of the previous named tree species? The first experiment is planning to be situated along a fire disturbance gradient in northern Sweden. We will also expand the research to production forests. Previously I have been working for the Swedish Forest Agency. My supervirsor is Marie-Charlotte Nilsson Hegethorn. Co-supervisors are David Wardle and Michael Gundale.
