GLDA Seminar: Henrik Sjoman to speak about the need for more diversification of trees

Henrik Sjöman is a Swedish researcher, botanist, plant hunter and scientific curator at the Gothenburg Botanic Garden, Sweden. His work mainly focusses on developing knowledge of site-adapted plant use for urban environments.

How the capacity of different trees will vary in context to its urban environment and in delivering ecosystem services has become the prime driver in Henrik’s work and as such how to extend the knowledge of diversifying the urban treescape. Finding “plants of tomorrow” means to combine traditional plant hunting of less common species with research and evaluation; creating a diversified approach to a resilient urban forest. www.botaniska.se
