Boreal Forest regeneration platform (BoFoReg) is the only research nursery in the Northern Europe focusing on tree seedling production. It provides state of art facilities for studying the effects of abiotic and biotic factors on boreal tree species in the early phases of forest regeneration chain in controlled conditions, and for finding risk management methods related to the anthropogenic pressures. The major research themes include adaptation of processes along forest regeneration chain to climate change and changing operational environment, development of non-chemical plant protection methods and testing of sustainable growth media. Facilities include different growth facilities (greenhouses, seedling line, climate chambers with adjustable LEDs, freezing test chambers and a temperature-controlled room), and well-equipped laboratories for various purposes (plant physiology, molecular biology, tissue culturing, microscopy, soil studies, seed studies).
