Summary
Wood is one of Sweden’s most valuable industrial materials, and it is important to the Swedish economy that the forestry industry continues to grow. This programme for research in forestry and the forestry industry ended in 2001. It included phases of the production chain, from a tree’s development from seed to full-grown tree to processing forest products. Research has in part focused on improving wood quality and chemical reactions in the wood pulp and paper processes. See also Molecular and Cellular Plant Biology, Graduate School.
