Silviculture
The bioeconomy is dependent on increased growth of forests to meet the demands on volumes and sustainability in production.

Objectives
Increased access to and mobilization of wood resources requires efficient models, practices and tools. The overarching objectives of this work package are:
- to increase the access to wood resources by promoting practices that increase growth rates in the forest
- to achieve measurable improvements in the efficiency of forest operations, and
- to demonstrate the importance of rational business processes in procuring or marketing services for silviculture, harvesting and wood purchasing.
Expected results
- Case study areas for most productive silvicultural systems, including techniques and technologies and their assessments.
- Decision support tool for motor-manual operations to select optimal operation methods at different stand types.
- Forest growth simulations to investigate impact of different silvicultural systems, including ecosystem services.
- Mapping the business processes required in procuring services or forest based products.
