Professor
Co-ordinator for the Swedish
Integrated Monitoring Programme
Research interests
The overall interest is directed on effects of impacts on soil and water in the forest landscape. Both terrestrial and aquatic systems are included and the integrated monitoring on an ecosystem catchment approach furnishes the research possibilities for cause-effects relationships and the understanding of basic prerequisites. The long-term determinations and monitoring of natural conditions of complete number of included compartments at the same site gives the complete picture of existing properties and processes. Forest ecosystem functions and biodiversity in a wide context are included. The work, often related to environmental monitoring and assessment, is directed on:
- Integrated monitoring of air pollution effects on ecosystems
- Research and networking in the context of biodiversity
- Hydrology and water balances and chemical budgets in the forested catchment context
- Impacts of forestry on soil and waters
Ongoing projects
Activities are linked to longitudinal monitoring and assessment with the work under the Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution, especially in the International Cooperative Programme on Integrated monitoring of air pollution effects on ecosystems. Further research and scientific exchange belongs to the NoE ALTER-Net, “A Long-Term Biodiversity, Ecosystem and Awareness Research Network”. Related to this a special project is carried out; “ManForest; “Ecosystem functions and biodiversity in managed forest landscapes”.
