Biogeochemistry of forest soils

Research goals

• To deepen the understanding of biogeochemistry of forest soils.
• To improve the insights into human impacts, such as land-use, management, climate change and nitrogen deposition on biogeochemical processes.

Research areas

• Soil carbon stocks and greenhouse gas emissions
• Sustainable management of forest soils
• Assessments of impacts of environmental changes and pollution
• Cycling of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus in terrestrial ecosystems
• Organic phosphorus dynamics (ERC Consolidator project)

Furthermore, the unit Biogeochemistry of Forest Soils is engaged in under- and postgraduate education and environmental monitoring. The unit is responsible for the Swedish Forest Soil Inventory and The national assessments of greenhouse gas emissions from land-use.
