About us
At the Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre we develop new knowledge on sustainable forest practice in temperate and boreal forests through multidisciplinary research and education. We collaborate with stakeholders with a broad interest in forest-related questions.
Research
Our research is focused on forest health, silviculture and forest production, forest history and conservation ecology as well as forest policy and planning. Our work has national, European and global relevance, but often focuses on forests and landscapes in southern Sweden.
Education
We offer the Bachelor's programme Forest and Landscape and the Master's programme Euroforester at the beautiful Alnarp campus. Students are very satisfied with the education.

Conservation ecology and forest history
We conduct research on conservation ecology, plant ecology, forest history, and plant-animal interactions – knowledge that supports decisions on how forests can preserve biodiversity and be managed sustainably in Sweden and globally.
Silviculture and forest regeneration
We conduct research on forest management in both coniferous and broadleaved forests in Sweden and other parts of the world. The research focuses on forest production, regeneration, and silviculture, as well as how forestry can support diverse goals and values and help mitigate climate change.
Forest policy and planning
Our research spans forest planning and advisory services to forest policy, gender equality, and societal transitions – with a focus on both local landscapes and global perspectives.
