| Strong growth in Swedish forests |

Swedish forests grow like never before. The timber stock is continually increasing despite unprecedented felling.
The last nation wide forest inventory shows that at present annual growth is 120 million cubic metres. The present timber stock outside nature reserves and national parks is 3,250 million cubic metres, i.e. an increase of 85 % since the first forest inventory made in 1926.
During the last years deciduous trees have grown the most. In the 1970s and the 1980's deciduous trees were cleaned out. Now a re-evaluation has been made concerning these species, mainly for environmental reasons. Mixed forests promote natural biodiversity and a multitude of species, both in respect of animals and plants.
Spruce, pine and birch are still the predominant species and they represent 91 % of the aggregate timber stock. |
