- Future silviculture focus on the development of novel silvicultural practices for combining biomass yield regulation with biodiversity conservation, recreational values, water protection and climate change mitigation. Contact: Professor Urban Nilsson, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences.
- Forest soils and waters investigate the effects of different silvicultural practices on forest landscape nutrient cycling and water quality. Contact: Professor Hjalmar Laudon, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences.
- Climate change mitigation and adaptation studies forest management adaptation strategies in relation to climate induced changes in pests and diseases and catastrophic weather events. Additionally climate change mitigation strategies are studied, from both forestry and governance perspectives. Contact: Professor Jan Stenlid, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences.
- Governing conflicting demands studies forest policy and management options from ecological, economical as well as social aspects, identifying synergies, trade-offs and conflicts and assess governance tools designed to manage multiple objectives in forested landscapes. Contact: Associate Professor Camilla Sandström, Umeå University.
