Forest ecosystem services

Research project Our forests deliver a range of ecosystem services, such as wood, fuel, berries, game, and carbon storage. Our knowledge of which factors influence the number of delivered ecosystem services, and the levels of these, is still severely limited.

This project focuses on gathering fundamental knowledge about what drives forest ecosystem services, to give information that can be used in forest management and protection of forest biodiversity.
