Giuliana Zanchi (INES) and Mark Brady (CEC) have been interviewed about new research that shows the benefits of continuous cover forestry in larger areas compared to intensified biomass utilization.

Mark Brady (researcher at CEC) and Giuliana Zanchi (researcher at the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science) were interviewed about new research on the type of forest management that is preferable from a socio-economic perspective.

“The Swedish forest could contribute greater benefits to society if we had larger areas of continuous cover forestry, rather than if we were to intensify the extraction of biomass”, says Brady.

Among media outlets reporting on this are Skogsaktuellt, Extrakt och Forskning.se.
