Sustainable Use of Natural Resources

Wald-Weidenutzung

WSL has from the very start been concerned with the sustainable use of the natural resources wood, water, snow and fertile soils. Computer simulations of forest development help foresters make the best economic use of Swiss forests, and, at the same time, take into account other functions that forests perform for people, animals and plants.

In focus

Alpine snow and water resources
Alpine resources

The WSL and SLF are engaged in research to measure and pinpoint the country's snow and water resources, and to forecast future variances giving due consideration to the impact of climate change. A conference on this subject for practitioners and researchers took place at the end of November.
