Research
My research explores how different seed sources, plant material, and early silvicultural practices influence the regeneration and growth of Douglas fir under Nordic conditions. I study how Douglas fir responds to various environmental and biological challenges while also examining management approaches that may affect its establishment and growth. By combining field experiments, data analysis, and collaboration with forest industry partners, my work aims to provide practical knowledge that can support climate-adapted forestry in Sweden.
