[ID: 481] Evidence-based damage data and models for continuous cover forests (EDAMC)
PI: Jeannette Eggers
The overall aim of this project is to strengthen the empirical foundation to better consider forest damage aspects of CCF in the forest planning process, and to realize substantial synergies between E-tools and this our proposed project.
[ID: 479] Influence of Tree Species on Soil Carbon Cycling across Boreal Forest Ecosystems
PI: Xanthe J Walker
This research aims to assess the influence of vegetation composition, climate, and disturbance history on soil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation. We will compare the mean residence time of SOC in spruce, pine, birch, and aspen-dominated forest ecosystems located near three separate research stations in Sweden and Finland. These sites range in species present, climate, and disturbance history. We will then assess how SOC accumulation in these forests compare to our studies in boreal North America (Alaska, USA, and the Northwest Territories and Yukon Territories of Canada). Our comparative approach will enhance our current scientific understanding of the drivers of SOC accumulation with ongoing climate warming.
[ID: 478] AquaBioEc
PI: Lenka Kuglerova
Biodiversity of small streams, ditches and dream (something between ditch and stream) in forestry dominated landscapes. Biodiversity of diatoms, bacteria and aquatic macroinvertebrates is assessed using DNA and RNA methods. Streams, ditches and dreams that are investigated are situated in mature forest stands but also in clearcuts (with and without riparian buffers).

[ID: 469] Endophytic plant growth-promoting bacteria isolated from Scots pine needles
PI: Tinkara Bizjak
The main aim of the study is to examine if isolated nitrogen-fixing bacteria from Scots pine needles possess plant growth-promoting properties such as phosphorus and zinc solubilization, siderophore production, HCN production, IAA production and protease and cellulase activity. Additionally, to test if the isolated bacteria showing plant growth-promoting properties in in vitro assays, are able to promote the growth of important agricultural crops such as cucumber, kale, tomato and corn in in vivo study using non-sterile soil.

[ID: 467] Groundwater and topsoil sampling at Krycklan catchment
PI: Arina Ivanova
Krycklan catchment is one of the locations of our cross-European sampling campaign, which aim is to generalize the observations from AquaDiva field sites (Thuringia, Germany). We plan to do topsoil and groundwater sampling at three locations within catchment corresponding to different hydrogeological conditions (wells transecting till, sand and metamorphic bedrock). We study dissolved organic matter (DOM), an omnipresent constituent of natural waters, to trace transformations of matter in the subsurface. With the collected groundwater and soil samples, we want to compare source and groundwater DOM and identify the key parameters that influence DOM transformation. Two studies are planned with the topsoil samples: soil lipidome study and an assessment of the potential of free-living nitrogen fixation in various European soils. To support and link the studies, we will assess the composition if microbial communities in soil and groundwater collected at Krycklan catchment.
