Perspectives of hardwood research. State of research with examples from Germany and Switzerland

Today, softwood tree species represent the main raw material source of the forest-bases sector, but due to climate change and disturbances, their growth is diminishing. A variety of hardwood species will become much more important in the future, which requires more research especially in the field of new applications and products. This presentation gives an overview of the main challenges and a range of research and innovation activities in the field of novel hardwoods uses and markets. Presentation at the InnovaWood Annual General Assembly on 8 July 2020. Watch the presentation recording on YouTube
