Funded PhD in Landscape Ecology and Watershed-Scale Ecosystem Services at University of British Columbia University of British Columbia in Canada

This PhD position focuses on understanding how forest management practices shape post-fire regeneration in Québec's boreal forests. The research will investigate the legacy of pre-fire silvicultural treatments and their influence on seedling establishment, sapling growth, understory development, and microsite availability after wildfire. The project centers on emblematic boreal species such as black spruce and jack pine, combining field ecology with ecophysiology. Fieldwork will be conducted in ...

PhD opportunity at the Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue (UQAT), based at the Institut de recherche sur les forêts (IRF) in Rouyn-Noranda, Canada. The project focuses on carbon and biodiversity in old-growth boreal forests, with emphasis on carbon–biodiversity relationships in old-growth stands, deadwood and dendromicrohabitats, bryophyte and soil fungal communities using metabarcoding, and the recovery of old clearcuts (>50 years) toward old-growth characteristics. Supervision is by...
