Dead wood and old forest are a few examples of indicators for biodiversity in the forest. This means they represent important factors to ensure a diversity of species. SCA tracks the development of five key indicators in our holdings over time and the result has been very positive. The different indicators have risen by about 25-90% in a relatively short period.
Dead wood creates life
The amount of dead wood is one of the most important factors for biodiversity in forest landscapes. In Sweden, over 5,000 species depend on dead wood in various stages of decomposition, including different types of fungi, beetles, and birds. Therefore, it is essential to create more dead wood.

Prescribed forest burning
Prescribed forest burninh is one of the most effective nature conservation measures that we can perform. Through controlled burnings, we create habitats for species that benefit from the fire or that are dependent on forest fires to be able to survive.
Species Commitment and habitats
Our forests have a variety of flora and fauna. To make our nature conservation measures even more effective we preserve, develop and recreate the habitats that are important for species that are disadvantaged by forestry. This will help us achieve an even greater precision in our work with biodiversity.
