<p class="MsoNormal">Europe’s forests are highly valued for wood production, conserving biodiversity and climate change mitigation, among many other services. They are also increasingly under stress from the changing climate. Working out how best to manage
these forests in order to try and meet this multitude of demands that society places on them, whilst also adapting to climate stresses is an enormous challenge for the scientific community. In this PhD project you will help to meet that challenge. You will
develop and apply forest modelling techniques<span lang="EN-US"> using the LPJ-GUESS model</span> to improve our understanding of the potential of different forest management and rewilding options across the continent. To achieve this, you will become part
of a substantial team of researchers within Lund and across Europe. You will be part of two major new European projects with complimentary aims,
<span lang="EN-US">FORWARDS </span>and WildE, encompassing around 30 partner institutions from across Europe, allowing you to develop a wide-reaching network. Through these projects, your results will have an outlet to
<span lang="EN-US">potentially </span>influence European forest policy. You will also become part of the BECC research platform, a collaboration between Lund University and the University of Gothenburg, which brings together over 250 researchers working on
the topics related to biodiversity and ecosystem services under a changing climate
