Elisabeth Larsen (Author)
Dr Elisabeth Karlstad Larsen developed a profound appreciation for forests and trees during her upbringing in Norway. Her early academic work, during her MSc studies, focused on black poplar drought tolerance for biofuel. She then joined a research team in Valencia to study the water-use of Aleppo pine forests in a Mediterranean climate for her PhD.
More recently, she concluded a five-year project as a Tree Scientist at the Royal Horticultural Society, examining the ecosystem services provided by garden trees. This role broadened her expertise to encompass a wider array of tree species and offered opportunities to supervise students, as well as participate in and organize conferences and expert panels.
Driven by a passion for the challenges trees face due to climate change, she currently works at Forest Research, concentrating on forest biodiversity and agroforestry across the UK.
