[ES_JOBS_NET] PhD position, Lund University, Sweden: Boreal forest recovery after clear-cut or forest fire

[Marko Scholze]

*Boreal forest recovery after clear-cut or forest fire: We are looking 
for a highly motivated PhD student to model and forecast greenhouse gas 
exchanges and carbon pools of boreal forests after disturbance.*

To date, very little is known on the impact of forest clear-cuts and of 
wildfires on Sweden's boreal forest ecosystems and their carbon balance, 
particularly regarding the early recovery years. This PhD project will 
use simulations of an ecosystem model, remote sensing data and flux 
tower measurements to analyse scenarios of alternative reforestation 
strategies (after clear-cut and after forest fire) for different climate 
predictions.

The PhD project is embedded in a large research project that aims to 
assess the biotic and abiotic climate effects (“costs”) of alternative 
reforestation strategies (after clear-cut and after forest fire). The 
PhD student will gain research experience in state-of-the-art ecosystem 
modelling (LPJ-GUESS), remote sensing data analysis, and presenting and 
publishing the results.

This is a 4 year fully-funded PhD position at Lund University, Sweden. 
The PhD student will be supervised by Prof. Natascha Kljun (Centre for 
Environmental and Climate Science), Prof. Anna Maria Jönsson and Assoc. 
Prof. Marko Scholze (both Dept. of Physical Geography and Ecosystem 
Science) and be able to work in an international team with world-leading 
scientists.
