I'm an associate professor in forest management with focus on regeneration. My research focuses mainly on the chain from nursery production to established seedling in the field, including how nursery regimes and silvicultural practices in the regeneration phase affect seedling survival, damage and growth. The effects of regeneration measures applied early in a rotation may have large effects on the forest development and composition also in the long run. The effects of these factors are therefore studied both in the short term and the long term, and impacts both on micro-level and site-level are explored.
