Subject: PhD-project: Managing stand structure to restore mixed oak-dominated 
forests for conservation of biodiversity

Managing stand structure to restore mixed oak-dominated forests for 
conservation of biodiversity
Description:

Oak-dominated forests are widespread in Eurasia and North America, supporting 
high biodiversity and providing important ecosystem services. However, 
decreasing oak dominance and oak regeneration failure are occurring worldwide, 
putting oak-associated biodiversity and ecosystem services at risk. Not much is 
known about the stand structures and light conditions necessary for promoting 
natural regeneration of oak. This knowledge gap causing problems for 
cost-effective forest management in oak forests valued for conservation. Our 
international project (Sweden-Spain-USA) aims to discover stand development 
pathways that lead to oak dominance in mixed broadleaf stands of ranging site 
productivities. This will be accomplished with well-replicated field studies 
designed to define relationships between stand structure, light availability 
and growth of oak regeneration. The research is organized with supervision from 
specialists in ecology, eco-physiology, conservation, silviculture and tree 
growth. An external reference group from forestry and nature conservation will 
participate.

Qualifications:

We are looking for a strongly motivated candidate with an MSc degree in 
ecology, environmental sciences, forestry or equivalent. Excellent written and 
spoken English is essential, as well as the ability to work both independently 
and in a team. A valid drivers' license is required.

Place of work:

SLU, Alnarp in Sweden

Forms for funding or employment:

Employment as PhD student (4 years)

Starting date:

According to agreement.
