These are

a few examples

f the SNS contribution

to a more sustainable forestry in the Nordic countries:

Reduce climate change

Research project strives to reduce negative impact

f forestry on emission of

New market for wood products

Paper is old – new fields are opening for all components of wood. One projects developes novel applications for wood polysaccharides.

Climate change and globalization

New threats to the forests emerges due to increased international trade of plants and plant products, and the changes in climate.
