Dan Bergström

My field of research spans over a broad spectra of the forest biomaterials value chain; from silvicultural technology and operations, effects of forest operations on forest production and biodiversity, wood harvesting and supply systems, technologies and systems for measuring wood quality and quantity properties, biomass upgrading systems, fuel production and energy conversion technologies. I see myself as a generalist, even though I’m known to be an R&D specialist of novel and effective thinning- and supply systems for young dense boreal thinnings and small tree harvesting in general.
