SYNERGIES: Enhancing the sustainable integration of wood biomass production with other ecosystem services

Three main goals are considered: i) identify and assess the main environmental effects of the intensified use of biomass resources in the Nordic area, ii) evaluate and propose alternatives that can align the co-production of biomass production to complementary ecosystem services and iii) seek ways to fully implement and realize the resulting strategies and alternatives in existing biomass production practices and supply chains.

These aims build on existing research and datasets among the partner institutions, and involve creation and sharing of experiences and knowledge, research results and existing data and trials concerning biomass production systems along the Nordic area, as the basis of further developing current and future research efforts.
