Arnis Jurevics

I am a PhD student in Forest Management. My supervisors are Gustaf Egnell   and Matthias Peichl.
The main aim of my research project is to assess the long-term sustainability of intense harvest (slash and stump removal) by assessing the impact on a number of ecosystem services provided by our forests:

1.     Carbon in soil and tree biomass;

2.     Nitrogen in soil and tree biomass;

3.     Seedling establishment and tree growth and C accumulation;

4.     Berry production.
