A brief description of the thesis:
Forests are expected to provide multiple ecosystem services and contribute to climate change mitigation, while also being adapted to the impacts of climate change. This thesis highlights the various competing expectations placed on forests in Sweden and how they can be addressed by tailoring forest management to local socio-ecological contexts in collaboration with local forest stakeholders, thereby reducing the gap between forest science and practice.

Keywords: sustainable forest management, climate-smart forestry, ecosystem services, media analysis, machine learning, co-production processes, local knowledge, forest policy, forest stakeholders, scenario modelling.
