Hi all,
We are recruiting for a new PhD positionmeasuring the recovery of ecosystem
services after boreal forest fire.

Project summary) The forest fires which raged across Sweden in the summer of
2018 caused tremendous damage and were distributed across nearly the entire
country, spanning a climate gradient of ~0 – 9 °C mean annual temperature.
These characteristics make the 2018 Swedish boreal forest fires the ideal
natural experiment for examining the effects of between natural temperature
regime and wildfires and their impacts on ecosystem processes. So, for the PhD
project we propose to set up measurements along a network of forest sites
spanning southern to northern Sweden which burnt in 2018 to quantify the
impact, and potential for recovery, of core ecosystem properties and services
after fire in Swedish boreal forest. Our approach will pair extensive field
measurements across Sweden with intensive laboratory measurements and an
integrative modeling analysis.
