Sustainable Forest Ecosystems

Forests worldwide are under pressure due to climate change, biodiversity loss and competition for land use. At the same time, forests play an important role for our society through sequestration of CO2 and production of wood. Therefore, there is increasing attention for the state of our forests.

The research agenda of Team Sustainable Forest Ecosystems is focused on sustainably managing, using and expanding forests and their ecosystem services. The team carries out research on national, European and global scale. The main expertises are forest modelling, climate smart forestry, green house gas inventory, urban green and tree genetic resources.
