We have spent the past few days at the lovely Friibergs Herrgård, networking and discussing research, ethics and new projects.
Hej lantbrukare, skogsbrukare, rådgivare och konsumenter! Visste du att dina val gör skillnad för ett mer hållbart jord- och skogsbruk? Vi jobbar med små knuffar som kan leda till stora förändringar.
Hjälp oss genom att delta i vår undersökning:

Beneath the pines, fungi fuel the forest 🌲❤️🍄
In her PhD thesis, Katharine King reveals how ectomycorrhizal fungi weather minerals and mobilize nitrogen—powering tree growth, nutrient cycling, and carbon storage in boreal forests.

Ett nytt tvärvetenskapligt kunskapscentrum för livsmedelsberedskap söker doktorander i virologi och ekologi. De ska utveckla nya metoder för att upptäcka antagonistiska hot tillsammans med representanter från olika delar av livsmedelssystemet. slu.se/ew-nyheter/2025/4/nyt…
Sidhant Chaudhary has nailed his doctoral thesis "Plant genotype-dependent biocontrol of wheat diseases".
He will defend it on Friday, May 9th, at 9:00 in Lennart Kennes Sal, BioC, SLU in Uppsala.
Genetic variation in plants can affect how efficiently biocontrol agents can reduce diseases. In this doctoral thesis, Sidhant Chaudhary has investigated this variation to bring us closer to optimising crops for higher biocontrol responsiveness. slu.se/en/ew-news/2025/4/pla…

🚨 #job 🚨: The Department of Forest Ecology and Management at the Faculty of Forest Sciences, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), is hiring a full-tenure Professor in silviculture with a focus on silvicultural systems, mainly in boreal forests.
A silvicultural system is a planned program of treatments throughout the entire life of a forest stand, designed for influencing the growth of trees and their spatial and temporal distribution to achieve predictable characteristics that align with stand specific economic, ecological and social objectives.
🗺️Location: Umeå, Sweden
📅Deadline: 29 April 2025
