There is potential to grow fast-growing poplar on forest land using improved plant material and ash recycling. This is demonstrated in a new doctoral thesis at SLU.

In November, SLU launches a special campaign exploring the vital link between Sweden’s forests and national preparedness.

An extensive archive of bore core samples was given a new lease of life as a resource for forest researchers. One of the researchers benefiting from the archive is Kelley Bassett. Using the bore cores, she produces new knowledge about forest growth and health.

Recent advances in biosensor technology offer new opportunities to monitor fish welfare in aquaculture. However, before new biosensors can be put to use, their suitability and potential applications must be carefully evaluated.

Facilitators of collaborative policy making on sustainability issues often face heated debates and conflicting truths. They are on the front lines when facts are contested and emotions run high. A study explores their experiences and presents strategies for navigating post-truth situations.
