N2 - Young dense forests represent an unexploited source of small‐diameter trees to supply the future biorefinery industry in the Botnia‐Atlantica region. A geographical information system (GIS) was applied to evaluate the distribution of young stands in the northern part of Sweden (Norrland). The analysis was based on a dataset containing all forest inventory plots in the country, provided by the National Forest Inventory of Sweden. The GIS also assisted in the calculation of the regional harvesting potentials of different wood assortments. Results from this early stage study showed the area covered by young forests in Norrland is 1.38 million ha, representing 6 % of the total forest area of Sweden.
