Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre, SLU, in collaboration with Uppsala University, Södertörn University and Stockholm University will test in the next four years if moving Swedish species that already grow in southern Sweden further north is a successful adaptation strategy. They will establish these species, often under existing trees that can protect them from frost and other climate-related risks, to prepare for the future. If successful, the project could transform how forest management is approached in Sweden – moving from cautious adjustments to proactive, long-term strategies for resilient forests in a warming climate.
