In close collaboration with machine manufacturers, Skogforsk is developing technology, methods, and procedures to promote a healthy work environment.

Forest contractors account for most of the operative forestry in Sweden. Skogforsk supports these enterprises by providing performance indicators, simplified agreements, regulatory frameworks, etc.

High-quality, resistant and climate-adapted plants lay the foundation for a profitable and sustainable use of forest. Skogforsk genetically improves trees for the Swedish forestry sector.

Damage caused by wildlife, insects and fungi costs the forestry vast sums of money. Skogforsk is developing measures to prevent attacks in thicket-stage and young forests.

Skogforsk is working towards a bioeconomy by developing tools and methods to ensure better utilisation of forest products.

Transport accounts for a large proportion of the costs in forestry. Improving the efficiency of vehicles and logistics offers great scope for reducing these costs. Skogforsk makes this possible.

Efficient wood supply chains increase profitability for both the forest owner and industry. We are developing tools and methods to make this possible.

Improving productivity is one of the biggest challenges for the forestry. Skogforsk is developing technological and methodological solutions to increase productivity and minimize environmental impact.

Skogforsk provides the forestry with high quality seeds and plants. We are developing new methods for treating seeds and cultivating plants, and offer an advisory service about seeds and plants.

Skogforsk is developing new and improved ways of managing the forest for profitable production through improved tree growth, quality and conservation.

Skogforsk is conducting research aimed at promoting sustainable Swedish forestry and reducing environmental damage.

How does forestry affect soil and water? How can we minimise damage to the ground caused by forest machines? These are some of the issues we are tackling in our research.
