Here you'll find official statistics on the state and development of Swedish forests provided by the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU).

SLU is responsible for official statistics on Swedish forests and their state and development. The Swedish National Forest Inventory (NFI, Riksskogstaxeringen) is responsible for the production of these statistics.

The statistics are published online annually in the form of tables, diagrams and maps.

The statistics are summarised in the publication Skogsdata and it is also possible to search among and compile NFI statistics interactively by using the Taxwebb web service.

NFI statistics are openly available through the PX-web, simplifying customised searches and making statistics accessible via an API. 

The National Forest Inventory has 100-year-old time series of forest data making it possible to study forest development since the 1920’s, on a county level.

JO0801 - Skogsdata - current statistics about the Swedish forests
JO0802 - Area conditions
JO0803 - Standing volume and tree biomass
