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...
