Open Postdoctoral positions in Disturbances and biogeochemistry team in Joensuu, Finland
The 2-year post-doc position deals with disturbance ecology and biogeochemistry of greenhouse gasses. The position will be funded by the four-year project “Climate and air quality impacts of boreal forest fires” (Jane and Aatos Erkko Foundation). We are seeking a highly motivated candidate with experience in working with soil biogeochemical processes and greenhouse gas […]
Post-fire soil carbon emission rates along boreal forest fire chronosequences in northwest Canada show significantly higher emission potentials from permafrost soils compared to non-permafrost soils.
A new paper by Köster et al., 2024, compared the potential effects of forest fire through post-fire succession on soil carbon dioxide (CO2) emission rates and soil C turnover time in two fire chronosequences, one with underlying permafrost soil and the other without permafrost. The study demonstrates that forest fires have a profound influence on […]
