Bengt-Gunnar Jonsson is a Professor in the Department of Biology at Mid Sweden University's School of Natural Science, Design and Sustainable Development. With over 25 years of research experience, he specializes in boreal forest ecology, deadwood dynamics, and biodiversity conservation. His work focuses on wood-inhabiting fungi, lichen communities, and forest fragmentation effects, particularly in northern Sweden's high conservation value forests. Jonsson has been pivotal in developing green infrastructure models and climate-adaptive forestry strategies.
- Key research themes: forest conservation, fungal ecology, climate change mitigation, deadwood management
- Research tools: presence-absence sampling, Bayesian modeling, long-term ecological monitoring
- Policy contributions: EU Biodiversity Strategy evaluations, IPBES initiatives
His recent publications (2025-2020) demonstrate sustained expertise in forest carbon dynamics, saproxylic community analysis, and landscape-scale conservation. Jonsson frequently collaborates with international researchers on temperate and boreal forest biodiversity, with notable work on functional ecology and ecosystem service trade-offs. Current projects include 'Climate - collaborative learning initiative' and 'Functional green infrastructure in boreal forests'.
Scientific contributions span multiple systematic reviews in environmental management, including Forest Ecology and Management and Environmental Research Letters. He has co-authored Cambridge University Press's Biodiversity in Dead Wood and contributed to IPBES policy frameworks. Jonsson's research integrates empirical forest monitoring with theoretical ecological modeling, particularly in wood decomposition processes and fungal community dynamics.
