Dr. Örjan Berglund is a researcher in Soil Science at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), where he earned his PhD in 2011 on greenhouse gas emissions from cultivated peat soils. His research focuses on soil physical properties, hydrology, and climate mitigation in organic soils, with a strong emphasis on applied field experiments and international collaboration. He has co-authored numerous peer-reviewed articles, including “Emissions of CO₂, N₂O and CH₄ from cultivated and set aside drained peatland in Central Sweden” (Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021) and “Carbon capture efficiency, yield, nutrient uptake and trafficability of different grass species on a cultivated peat soil” (CATENA, 2019). Dr. Berglund is a board member of the Swedish National Committee of the International Peatland Society (IPS) and of the Swedish Section of the Nordic Association of Agricultural Scientists (NJF). He has received several competitive research grants and the Stephen C. Zoltai Student Award for his early work on CO₂ fluxes from peat soils.
