Research
The Biomass Production research group produces knowledge on sustainable biomass and forest production systems, from individual stands to landscapes and supply chains. Our research examines the productivity and management of forests and plantations, biomass availability and mobilisation, harvesting and logistics, and the integration of risks such as fire, wind, pests and climate change into forest planning and decision-making. We also explore how digital technologies, spatial analysis and decision-support tools can improve the efficiency, resilience and sustainability of biomass production while accounting for carbon, biodiversity and other ecosystem services.

Education
The Biomass Production research group contributes to education in forest biomass production, plantation forestry, forest management and sustainable use of natural resources. Teaching integrates biological, technological and management perspectives, covering topics such as forest productivity, biomass assessment, harvesting and supply chains, forest risks, spatial planning and decision-support methods. Particular emphasis is placed on connecting scientific knowledge with practical applications through field measurements, data analysis, digital tools and real-world case studies. The education is aimed at developing the analytical and practical skills needed to design productive, resilient and sustainable forest and biomass systems. Courses
