How are we affected by forest damage?

At SLU, we have many research projects on the consequences of forest damage for society and the economy. Some things we are currently investigating are:

  • How do we experience forest damage in society?
  • How are distribution chains disrupted by forest damage?
  • Policy and governance in relation to forest damage
  • Economic consequences of moose damage
