SLU calculates and reports emissions and uptake from Sweden's Land use, Land Use Change and Forestry sector (LULUCF).
The department's primary research aim is to develop new knowledge relevant to forestry in southern Sweden and the Baltic region. Much of the research is conducted in direct collaboration with our key customers, such as forest managers and the forest agency. Our five core research areas are forest management, forest planning, forest policy, conservation biology and forest history, and tropical silviculture and seed science.
A large interdisciplinary team at our department researches issues the management, biodiversity, and ecosystem services provisioned by mixed-species production forests.
ALTERFOR is an EU financed project, which goal is to provide new and improved approaches that are robust enough to address the pressures of increased bioenergy use and uncertainties such as climate change, the complex dynamics of evolving global markets, and the increased focus on forests’ social values.
