My current project focuses on the trade-off between production and fodder availability of a Norway spruce birch mixture in southern Sweden. Experimental data with different precommercial thinning strategies have been used in this study.

Previously, I have worked on the effect of the spatial arrangement of plantation on the growth and quality of coniferous plantation in Sweden. Rectangular spatial arrangement experiments in Sweden were used in this study. Moreover, I also worked on the regeneration and browsing of young forest and species composition of young forest in Sweden using national Abin inventory data.
