For almost 30 years, ash dieback has ravaged the ash trees of Europe. Millions of trees are gone, and yet some do survive. We still know little about why that is. A new study from the Swedish

Our group conducts research across multiple disciplines, with forest policy and planning as the bearing subjects. The research spans widely, from model-based analyses of silvicultural alternatives,

Spruce seeds from selected trees are crucial to secure replanting of harvested forest. Unfortunately, the production is lacking, partly due to damages caused by the pathogenic fungus Thekopsora
