Overview

Peter Högberg is affiliated with the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Sweden. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science and agricultural and biological sciences, with significant contributions to the study of global and planetary change, insect science, soil science, nature and landscape conservation, and plant science.

The scientist's work covers several main topics, including forest ecology and biodiversity studies, soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics, mycorrhizal fungi and plant interactions, plant water relations and carbon dynamics, forest ecology and management, peatlands and wetlands ecology, and forest management and policy.

Peter Högberg has published multiple papers, with notable recent publications including:

  • Managing existing forests can mitigate climate change (2022) in Forest Ecology and Management
  • Quantifying forest change in the European Union (2021) in Nature
  • Re-examining the evidence for the mother tree hypothesis - resource sharing among trees via ectomycorrhizal networks (2023) in New Phytologist
  • Large differences in plant nitrogen supply in German and Swedish forests - Implications for management (2021) in Forest Ecology and Management
  • Carbon benefits from Forest Transitions promoting biomass expansions and thickening (2020) in Global Change Biology

Frequent publication venues include Forest Ecology and Management with five publications, Nature and New Phytologist with two publications each, Global Change Biology, and Agricultural and Forest Meteorology.

Collaboration with other researchers is reflected in frequent co-authors, such as Mona N. Högberg (6 publications), Pekka E. Kauppi (4 publications), Tomas Lundmark (4 publications), Iddo K. Wernick (3 publications), and Annika Nordin (3 publications).
