Forest damages

In a recently published study we screened and ranked plant pests potentially associated with trade of ornamental plants to identify pests that could pose a high risk to Nordic coniferous forests. –

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,

The risk of outbreaks of pine sawflies can decrease with more dead wood in the forest, according to a new SLU study. It is most likely due to the fact that the dead wood provides shelter for small
