  1. 6. Björktimmer i svenskt skogsbruk : en studie över björkens potential i timmerproduktion

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Ebba Mölle; Olivia Fors; [2023]
    Keywords : björk; björkvirke; lövsågverk; sågverk;

    Abstract : Björk är Sveriges vanligaste lövträd och utgör cirka 13 % av landets stående virkesförråd. Intresset för trädslaget har varierat historiskt men har med tiden ökat på grund av att till exempel certifieringskrav, klimatförändringar och skadegörare fordrar en större variation i trädslagsblandning.
