Lars Östlund

Lars Östlund
Jag forskar i fältet skogshistoria där jag och mina kollegor försöker förstå och tolka människans relation till skogen och skogsekosystemen i ett långt tidsperspektiv. Vi arbetar framförallt i den norra boreala delen av Skandinavien, men har också forskning i Nordamerika (USA) och i Sydamerika (Chile).
