Tetiana Svystun

I am a postdoctoral researcher in silviculture and forest management.

My research focuses on the management of fast-growing broadleaf tree species in a changing climate, exploring how different management systems and site conditions affect biomass production and quality.

I have a background in tree phenology and ecosystem modelling. During my PhD studies, I focused on improving our understanding of how environmental factors regulate the timing annual tree cycle. I assessed the potential impacts of climate change, including shifts in phenology, increased risk of frost damage and changes in forest productivity.

2021: PhD in Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science, Lund University, Sweden.

Doctoral thesis: Understanding the environmental regulation of tree phenology.

2015: MSc in Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis, Lund University, Sweden. 

Master thesis: Modelling the potential impact of climate change on the distribution of Western Corn Rootworm in Europe.
