Isabella Hallberg-Sramek

My research focuses on the relationships between people and forests, how these relationships have shaped the forests in Sweden, and the impact contemporary relationships can have on future forests. A particular emphasis is placed on how these relationships affect the benefits, known as ecosystem services, co-created in forests, and to what extent these reflect the expectations placed on forests. A central question in my research is how we can develop forest management to meet the needs of both current and future generations while maintaining vital and healthy forest ecosystems.
