Scaling rangeland restoration in drylands through synergies in the biodiversity – water – climate nexus

Research subject:

Soil Sciences

Description:

Drylands cover nearly half of the global land surface, harbor high biodiversity, and support over 2 billion people and half of the world’s livestock. Drylands and the livelihoods of the people they support are threatened by the compounding effects of land degradation, biodiversity loss, water insecurity, and climate change. In East Africa, most of these drylands are rangelands that support pastoralist communities and where these challenges are particularly acute. Restoring degraded rangelands is critical to address these interlinked crises and enhance human wellbeing. However, significant knowledge gaps limit effective rangeland restoration at scale. This Ph.D. project will address many of these gaps and generate knowledge on the biodiversity-water-climate nexus that can contribute to large-scale, long-lasting, and effective rangeland restoration in the drylands of East Africa for increased climate change adaptation and mitigation, enhanced biodiversity, and water and food security.  

The Ph.D. project will use a combination of available data on soil and land health indicators collected systematically across a network of rangeland sites in the East African drylands and field experiments in four project sites (two in Kenya and two in Uganda). The objectives are to a) Investigate the interactions between vegetation characteristics, soil health, erosion, and water regulation across this network of rangeland sites and identify synergies and trade-offs in the provision of ecosystem services, and b) Test innovative rangeland restoration and management options together with local communities and scaling partners across the four project experimental sites and track their effectiveness.  

This PhD project will be part of a larger transdisciplinary research project led by SLU in partnership with the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), Linköping University, Makerere University, the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI), Stockholm University, University of Nairobi, Vi-Agroforestry, and World Agroforestry (ICRAF). The doctoral candidate will be mentored by an enthusiastic and dynamic team of scientists from SLU and partner institutions spanning a broad range of expertise – including soil science, agroforestry, agroecology, rangeland ecology and management, restoration ecology, and (eco)hydrology – which will support and provide excellent opportunities for scientific discussion and exchange. The candidate will collaborate closely with a postdoctoral researcher who will conduct an integrated regional assessment of rangeland health and explore historical dynamics in rainfall, vegetation, and land degradation and restoration using Earth Observation. The Ph.D. candidate will conduct fieldwork and field experiments, data analysis involving innovative statistical methods, manuscript writing, and contribute to other project activities. The announced Ph.D. position is fully funded for four years, with the expectation that the student will defend their doctoral thesis at the end of this period.  

Qualifications:

Requirements:  

  • MSc degree in a relevant subject (soil science, ecology, hydrology, physical geography or related fields)
  • Experience with data manipulation, analysis, and visualization in R (or other programming languages)
  • Experience with conducting fieldwork
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills in English  

Merits:

  • Relevant experience and competence in rangeland ecology, soil hydrology, soil and water conservation, and restoration ecology
  • Relevant experience and knowledge of remote sensing and GIS tools  

The applicant should have a strong work ethic, an interest in science, and the ambition to work as part of a collaborative research team in an international and interdisciplinary context. Once the eligibility requirements are met, we place great emphasis on other personal and interpersonal skills, such as the ability to work effectively (both collaboratively and independently), organize own work and schedule, adhere to deadlines, and solve problems.

Postdoc in Fibres from unexploited sources and recycling

Ref SLU.ua.2023.2.5.1-3225

The Department of Forest Biomaterials and Technology (SBT) is part of the Faculty of Forest Science, has about 50 employees and is based in both Umeå and Uppsala. The department conducts high-quality research and education at a high international level and collaborates with society and industry to develop a bio-based economy where forest biomaterials are an important resource. The main focus in Umeå is on value chains in the bio-based industry where different components of forest biomaterials are collected, characterized, separated, modified / refined, used and reused cost-effectively for various purposes while forest ecosystem services are managed sustainably. In Uppsala, focus is on wood science and technology with research and education on wood materials from nano to macro level, wood composites and wood adhesives, and with accredited testing of wood products and treatments for the market.

Read more about our benefits and what it is like to work at SLU at https://www.slu.se/en/about-slu/work-at-slu/

Duties:

Despite the widely recognised and urgent need to substitute fossil raw materials with renewables, under-developed biomass processing methods and poor understanding of the multiple benefits of novel applications currently restrict the implementation of sustainable fibre value chains. While hemp and woody biomass represent well-established biomass types for biorefineries, other underexploited species such as thistle, cattail and common reed could add to the crop selection and biomass production potential. The enormous wood waste, mainly generated by the furniture and construction sectors, is another potential source of valuable secondary fibres. However, there is only a small activity in higher value circular flows. The current situation in wood waste recycling is characterised by size reduction downcycling in the particleboard industry, limited to a few material streams only. Novel fibre substrates can thus be derived from less exploited feedstock sources and recycling with aim to replace conventional materials and reduce the pressure to use woody biomass to the extent that the carbon sink of forested land is put at risk. The scientific knowledge on the characteristics and properties of such fibres types must be completed as a prerequisite for their industrial acceptance and further development.

Qualifications:

As postdoctoral appointments are career-developing positions for junior researchers, we are primarily looking for candidates with a doctoral degree in one of the following areas: wood technology, material science, mechanical engineering, polymer technology, building materials, forestry or other relevant subject. Experience in fibre and particle analysis and manufacturing of composites at the laboratory are necessary. Previous experiences in using analytical instruments are desirable. Fluent English language, both in writing and speaking is required.

The fellow is expected to work and collaborate with PhD students employed in the Horizon Europe projects EcoReFibre and FIBSUN of the group of Fibres & Wood Composites. The aim is to increase the comprehensive potential of fibres from unexploited feedstock sources and wood waste recycling for novel raw material value chains and more green processes in manufacturing industries. We are thus looking for a highly motivated individual who is interested in a continued academic career in wood and fibre science. In assessing the applications for the position, particular emphasis will be placed on (1) applicants’ scientific proficiency in wood and polymer science and technology, and (2) their ability to develop their own line of research in fibres and composites, complementing the ongoing research within the group. More info about the activities of the group can be found here: https://www.slu.se/en/departments/forest-biomaterials-technology/travetenskap/fibres-adhesives–composites/

We will also place emphasis on the applicant’s personal characteristics and suitability. The applicants’ ability to work constructively in a small group and to take own initiatives is very important.

As postdoctoral appointments are career-developing positions for junior researchers, we are primarily looking for candidates with a doctoral degree that is three years old at most.

Place of work:

Identifying, understanding and managing aquatic biodiversity in intensively managed forests and under an increasingly extreme climate

Research subject 

Biology

Description:

Ongoing climate change and land-use represent severe pressures on boreal waters, most impacting the smallest natural streams and systems created (ditches) or modified (ditched streams) by humans. In Sweden, extreme drought events and floods are increasingly more common. At the same time, millions of km of small waterways are under pressure from forestry. These anthropogenic pressures represent large threats to biological communities in small waterways, but currently we do not have the capacity to predict their responses, nor to protect them. This PhD project will address the following research questions: 1) What are the differences and similarities in biodiversity among natural and artificial small forest waterways? 2) How does biodiversity respond to disturbances caused by hydrological extremes, and are those responses influenced by the magnitude of disturbance due to forestry? 3) What indicators can be monitored in small forest waterways to effectively evaluate their ecological status, and can they be integrated into regional, national, and international monitoring programs? The project aims to use cutting-edge techniques including DNA metabarcoding (invertebrates, diatoms, bacteria) to assess aquatic biodiversity and to evaluate how those techniques can be used in assessment.

The student should start the position during the spring 2024. This position is fully funded for four years with the expectation that the candidate will complete a PhD-degree within this time. There may be potential to extend the length of the PhD contract with teaching, but the successful candidate is expected to be primarily researched based. The PhD student will be under the supervision of Dr. Lenka Kuglerová (main supervisor) and Dr. Eliza Maher Hasselquist, at the Department of Forest Ecology and Management, SLU in Umeå, and Dr. Brendan McKie and Dr. Maria Kahlert, at the dept. of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment, SLU Uppsala. The student will also have a chance to work closely with an interdisciplinary group of researchers with diverse expertise.

Regeneration of European ash and restoration of broadleaved forests after pathogen disturbances

Description:

In recent decades, forests in Sweden have been threatened by new and emerging pests and pathogens. European ash is one of several noble broadleaved tree species that has been affected by introduced fungal diseases. The disease commonly known as ash dieback is largely threatening the existence of ash populations across Europe but especially in the Nordic region. Currently interactions of tree health, climate change and ungulate browsing are important subjects in mitigating biodiversity loss. Ash is a highly-valued timber tree species that has ecological and cultural importance in natural and urban environments. The research program “Save the Ash”, managed by Skogforsk and SLU, aims to develop a more resistant population of European ash for the future. 

The PhD project focuses on the regeneration and restoration of European ash. The project will generate new knowledge on the status of ash regeneration in natural stands that have been chronically affected by the ash dieback disease and in new plantations with propagated genotypes phenotypically selected for high tolerance to the invasive fungal pathogen. The project also aims to establish strategies for forest owners to guide restoration efforts in areas where the disease has caused significant damage and mortality.

 The PhD student will be included in the research teams with focus on forest pathology and silviculture. The research group in forest pathology at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Alnarp studies the biology, ecology and epidemiology of endemic and exotic invasive forest pathogens. Our work focuses on aspects of disease control and the interactions of trees with fungi and fungal-like (oomycete) organisms, including host symbioses and tree defense mechanisms. We conduct molecular diagnostics and host-chemical analyses to better understand the infection and resistance biology of trees. The research group in silviculture studies the regeneration and management of noble broadleaves in the temperate and south-boreal forests. New and old forest experiments are the core study objects for explaining regeneration success, tree growth and stand development. The successful applicant will have excellent opportunities to work with other international collaborators.

Qualifications:

The applicant should by the date of admission to PhD studies have a M. Sc. degree in silviculture, forest pathology, forest management or related forest sciences. Other beneficial qualifications are experience in conducting silviculture or regeneration surveys, ability to work independently in the field, skills in GIS and R-statistical analysis, and good communications skills with fluency in written English and Swedish. A drivers license is a necessity for the work duties. Attached to application should be: 1) curriculum vitae, 2) copies of degrees and transcripts of academic records, 3) link to, or copy of master thesis, and 4) two listed references with email addresses. Also attached to application should be: 5) a written motivation or reflection, of maximum one A4-page written in Swedish or English. The motivation shall discuss the student’s personal interest in the topic of this study and in silviculture of noble broadleaves and/or forest pathology in general.

Department of Forest Ecology and Management

We are recruiting a two year post doc to focus on the ecology of exotic tree introductions.  The Post Doc will be employed at the Department of Forest Ecology and Management at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in Umeå and is funded for two years. The department includes about 100 people of which 11 are professors. Our mission is to advance the understanding of forest ecosystems and how these should be managed today and in the future.

For more information: http://www.slu.se/en/departments/forest-ecology-management/

Read more about our benefits and what it is like to work at SLU at https://www.slu.se/en/about-slu/work-at-slu/

Exotic trees are introduced all over the world for production forestry purposes. Sometimes these trees perform exceptionally well in those new environments, achieving higher productivity relative to their native range, while also sometimes becoming invasive.  Thus, there is great interest to understand the ecology underlying enhanced performance in introduced ranges, which has implications for both forest production, as well as conservation of native flora. The project is led by Professor Michael Gundale (Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, SLU), with co-supervision by Marie-Charlotte Nilsson. 

Duties:

We seek a post doc to focus on the ecology of Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta), which has been introduced into Sweden, other European countries, as well as Southern Hemisphere countries such as Argentina, Chile and New Zealand.  The post doc would work with already existing data sets related to Pinus contorta introduction, including DNA sequencing data on foliar fungal endo- and epiphytes, soil fungi, as well as the population level DNA from sampling sites in the native range (USA) and the above-mentioned introduced ranges. The post-doc is expected to work with sequencing data of microbes, and/or SNP genetic data of the tree population, and develop already existing data sets into publishable manuscripts.   

Qualifications:

Successful candidates will have a PhD in a discipline such as Ecology, Biology, Forestry, or any relevant area of study resulting in relevant skills for the Post Doc project area.  The ideal candidate would have some skills in bio-informatics, multi-variate data analysis skills, and good scientific writing skills, as evidenced through other relevant first-authored publications.  Very good command of the English language is also required, both written and spoken.  As postdoctoral appointments are career-developing positions for junior researchers, we are primarily looking for candidates with a doctoral degree that is three years old at most.
