Research

Our research is organised under seven subject areas where we develop knowledge about forest ecosystems and transfer this knowledge to best management practices.

Nordic Nature Health Hub

A meeting place for nature entrepreneurs, researchers, organizations, authorities and everyone who is interested in the effects of animals and nature on human health and well-beeing.

Environmental monitoring

An important part of our research is based on long-term environmental data collected within SLU's environmental monitoring and assessment program. These long-term data series are important for our understanding of how the boreal ecosystem responds to environmental changes over time.

Research infrastructure

The department has access to and are scientifically responsible for an impressive research infrastructure that is fundamental for much of our research, education and extension work.
