Researchers

Ulf Skyllberg – Professor My current research is focused on improving our understanding of factors and processes in the control of mercury (Hg) transformations in soils and waters, such as the

Forest landscape biogeochemistry

Forest landscape biogeochemistry includes the hydrology and biogeochemistry of forests, wetlands and surface waters and the speciation, mobility and bioavailability of carbon, nutrients and metals.

Silviculture

The subject area silviculture covers research on short- and long-term effects of silvicultural systems, forest operations and strategies on set targets for forest management, with a focus on northern
