Formulation of sustainable forest policies requires solid understanding of environmental and economic impacts of alternative forest management. This postdoc links efforts of two research projects (ForestPath and Green Pole) to investigate how to balance biodiversity, climate, social values and economy as affected by forest management and policy. The postdoc will focus on predicting consequences for biodiversity of alternative forestry practices and assist in tracing them to underlying policy changes. This requires development of robust ways to relate biodiversity to forest structures that are affected by decisions on both how production forest is managed and to what extent areas are excluded from forestry. To this end, existing data will be used to develop models able to predict how management and policy options impact biodiversity in Swedish and Nordic forests.
