Offer Description
The post-doc position is part of a research project funded by the Swedish national research council Formas (www.formas.se ). The aim of the project is to quantify the net carbon balance from re-establishment to maturity in south Swedish spruce forests subject to rotation management. This knowledge is essential to estimate the age at which the accumulated net carbon uptake reaches its maximum. In addition, it is needed to determine the optimal time for harvesting to maximize the climate benefit. The net carbon balance will be determined in ten different stands aged 0 to +100 years by measurements of carbon dioxide fluxes from soil, fine root and mycorrhiza production as well as tree growth. A detailed project description can be found here
