Nils Fagerberg

Nils Fagerberg is a Lecturer at Linnaeus University's Department of Forestry and Wood Technology within the Faculty of Technology. He holds a PhD in Forest Industry Production Systems and focuses on sustainable forestry practices, particularly continuous cover forestry and individual-tree-selection methods. He works 60% at the university, teaching courses like Sustainable Family Forestry III and Hygge-Free Forestry, while dedicating the remaining time to his family farm and consulting in continuity forestry and beef production.

His education includes a B.Soc.Sc. in Ecological Economics, M.Sc. in Forestry, and M. in Sustainable Development. His doctoral research investigated optimizing tree selection in uneven-sized forests to balance economic returns with environmental and social benefits. He collaborates with the Forest Management research group, addressing sustainable forest use through interdisciplinary approaches.

Fagerberg’s publications emphasize quantitative models for tree growth, knot prediction, and optimization strategies in continuous cover forestry. He has contributed datasets from Linnaeus University’s field trials, enabling further research into spruce growth and canopy dynamics. His work bridges academic research with practical forestry applications, advocating for sustainable management practices.
