With climate change upon us fish need need wide buffer zones of mixed mature forest to keep rivers cool. Sweden is unprepared with < 5 m mean zones. River temps are now more often over 20°, critical for salmon and trout, lets put a proper green roof over our rivers.

Great winter field trip to the local continuous cover forestry field trial! Crust so thick we could walk on it! Being course leader for a Silviculture course in N Sweden in the middle of winter has its challenges, but it’s so worth it to get the students out of the classroom. #CCF #hyggesfritt
Oh, shiny tower of sieves… making me feel very professional and grown up to now own my own!!! And tips for how to better mark them? Scratch my name? Sharpie won’t last long when cleaning with alcohol!!!
What an amazing resource we have in the Swedish National Forest and Soil Inventories! When your study site is a whole country, with >400 plots, you can find patterns... Ditches show systematic impacts... www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Just submitted my 1st, 1st author paper since my husband died 3 yrs ago. From a project born out of necessity-when Covid + Cancer made Finland not possible. I can't thank @kuglerovastripe.bsky.social enough for her drive, support, friendship and help w/everything from field work to writing💙🙏
