Asa Research Station, located north of Växjö in south-central Sweden, encompasses a research station and three distinct research areas: Asa experimental forest, Asa high-yield experimental forest, and Aneboda research area. The station, founded in 1988, covers a total area of 1,010 hectares with 900 hectares of productive forest, half of which is made up of spruce forests, one-fourth of conifer mix and one-fourth of pine with deciduous trees. The conventionally managed Asa Experimental Forest is primarily used by researchers to study forest production and management, while the unique Asa high-yield experimental forest is used to explore the various landscape-level impacts of intensive forest management on everything from water quality to recreational value. Aneboda Research Area, with mires and conifer forests, serves as a reference for natural forest development stages. The station also has a comprehensive program for measurements of climate (WMO-standard), stream water chemistry, greenhouse gases (FOMA-flux and a flux tower in the high yield forest) and phenology. Additionally, Lake Feresjön provides access to an extensive lake monitoring program and its connected streams.
