Eight projects will now share SEK 91 million to provide new knowledge that will strengthen the potential of forests to contribute to the sustainable development of society.
The funded projects cover a wide range of topics, from research on active movement of tree species to maintain and restore ecosystems in a changing climate, to strategies for developing the forest sector in a turbulent world.
- Sweden, the EU and the world are facing complex challenges and changes that affect forests and the forest sector. The projects we are now funding will strengthen the ability of forests and the forest sector to meet society's needs both today and in the future," says Florence Pendrill, Research Secretary at Formas.
Several of the projects will investigate the conditions for increasing the social benefits of forests, such as forest bio-credits and certified carbon dioxide uptake. Projects on wind power in the forest landscape and forestry scenarios that meet several societal goals will also receive funding.
