Karin Hjelm

Karin Hjelm
I’m an associate professor in forest regeneration and at present, I have a position as a senior lecturer at Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre at SLU, Alnarp. I’m also working part time at Skogforsk (20%) on some research projects. As a researcher, my focus is on regeneration issues, such as effects of site preparation and various types of plant material on survival, growth and damage.
