Programme

The department conducts three major programmes, two within environmental monitoring and assessment – the Swedish National Forest Inventory and NILS (National Inventory of Landscapes in Sweden) - and one within forest management planning – Heureka. The projects within the programmes are completely or partly conducted by the department. More information about the projects within the programmes can be found on below homepages:
