Abstract

The aim of this project is to identify an optimal solution that balances the dual objectives of enhancing forest wood production and preserving various aspects of biodiversity. To achieve this, I will employ projection and optimization techniques using existing models related to biodiversity and ecosystem services. These analyses will consider multiple management scenarios for the future of Sweden's forests. I am conducting this research as a postdoctoral researcher affiliated with the Swedish Species Information Center, SLU Artdatabanken Terrestra ekosystem. The project is scheduled to span a duration of two years.
