Johannes Larson

In my PhD-project I studied how soil moisture conditions affectthe accumulation of soil organic carbon, nutrient accumulation and tree growth.

By using a high density tree and soil survey in relation to high resolution hydrological maps, I try to understand the spatial variation of soil properties and forest growth.

A large part of my research has been  conducted within the Krycklan Catchment.
