About

Johan Asplund is a Professor at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences in Norway. His research focuses on the dynamics of carbon stocks, decomposition processes in forest ecosystems, and the effects of environmental changes on biodiversity, particularly in boreal forests. He has published extensively on topics such as the influence of fire history and harvesting on soil respiration, as well as the ecological roles of lichens and shrubs in various environments.
