Emelie Fredriksson
Ecologist that focuses on fire and fire mimicing actions and their impacts on species composition of wood-inhabiting insects, fungi, vertebrates and plants.
Research
The goal of my postdoctoral research is to compare prescribed burning to the fire mimicing action of bark peeling ("katning"). During the summer of 2024 I will collect data from one of Sveaskogs Ecoparks called Ejheden, located in northern Dalarna.
