Nils Fagerberg

B.Soc.Sc in Ecological Economics, M.Sc. in Forestry, M. in Sustainable Development and Ph.D. in Forest Industry Production Systems. My doctoral thesis investigated how individual-tree-selection is optimized within uneven-sized forest management. My main interest is within the area of developing practical guidelines for these types of forestry practices. Individual tree selection is a central methodology for providing broad internal and external benefits from the forestry resource. I therefore consider it to be an important topic for future forest management development. I work 60% at the university. 

Teaching

Teaching mainly within topics connected to sustainable forestry management and clear-cut-free forestry methods.

Research

My research focuses on developing management recommendations for uneven‑sized forestry. Since uneven‑sized forest management has proven to be a profitable alternative for forest owners in many situations, there is a strong need to further develop and refine recommendations for different conditions and tree species. I am responsible for a Nordic‑Baltic project (Decision Support for Individual‑Tree Selection) that examines how uneven‑sized forest management can be optimized in Sweden, Finland, Estonia, and Lithuania. I am main responsible for a Seed-project investigating how tree parameters could be extracted from airborne laser scanning.
