Overview

Katarina Hedlund is affiliated with Lund University in Sweden, specializing in Environmental Science and Agricultural and Biological Sciences. Their research spans a variety of interconnected fields, focusing primarily on soil science, ecology, and global and planetary change, with significant work also in plant science and evolutionary biology.

The main topics of Katarina Hedlund's work include soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics, urban green space and health, land use and ecosystem services, mycorrhizal fungi and plant interactions, microbial community ecology and physiology, urban heat island mitigation, and plant pathogens and fungal diseases.

Frequent publication venues where Hedlund's research has appeared include Soil Biology and Biochemistry and Applied Soil Ecology, each with three publications. They have also published multiple papers in Environmental Research Letters, as well as appearances in Soils for Europe. and Ecosystem Services.

Recent significant papers authored by Hedlund or in collaboration with others highlight several key research areas:

  • A review of studies assessing ecosystem services provided by urban green and blue infrastructure, 2021, Ecosystem Services
  • Scaling up nature-based solutions for climate-change adaptation: Potential and benefits in three European cities, 2021, Urban forestry & urban greening
