  1. 1. The ability to create mixed stands by planting Norway spruce and Scots pine every second row

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Eva Higgins Andersson; [2022]
    Keywords : Local site index; seedlings every second row; regeneration; biodiversity; climate change; establishment;

    Abstract : Swedish forests primarily consist of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.). READ MORE

  3. 2. Modelling the growth of Pinus sylvestris L. monocultures in Sweden depending on the absorbed light

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Mateusz Grzeszkiewicz; [2022]
    Keywords : climate change; forest modelling; light use efficiency; photosynthetically active radiation; Scots pine;

    Abstract : Stand growth models are an important aid in contemporary sustainable forest management as a major planning and decision-making tool. However, climate change influencing growth conditions worldwide is a challenge to commonly used empirical models as they do not provide enough flexibility, which can result in inaccurate predictions and thus wrong decisions and sub-optimal results.

  4. 3. Evaluation of the forest composition in browsed Scots pine plantations

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Carl Noyce; [2022]
    Keywords : browsing damage; forest owners; mera tall; moose; pine regeneration; Södra;

    Abstract : Since the early 2000s browsing damage to Scots pine (Pinus Sylvestris) in the Götaland region of Sweden has been consistently estimated to be 15% per year, peaking at around 25% between 2009-2016, the highest of any region in the country. The Swedish Forest Agency has set a goal of achieving pine damage levels below 5% on average in the long-term, even if higher levels can be accepted in an individual year. READ MORE

  5. 4. The effect of forestry and cervid densities on annual growth of ericaceous shrub species

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Alina Sayn; [2021]
    Keywords : production forest; conifer; silviculture; plant-animal interaction; forest management; ungulate;

    Abstract : Ericaceous shrubs, such as bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus), cowberry (V. vitis-idaea), and heather (Calluna vulgaris), dominate the understory in Swedish forests. Their important role of providing forage for wild deer is well established. READ MORE

  6. 5. Modelling of stand basal area from leaf and plant area indices in boreal forest systems of Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Alex Appiah Mensah; [2018]
    Keywords : leaf plant area index; plant area index; Norway spruce; Scots pine; mixed forest; basal area; national forest inventory; Sweden;

    Abstract : Leaf or plant area index (LAI/PAI) is a useful biophysical indicator to characterize the interrelationships between forests and the atmosphere and offers greater potential to estimate productivity of forested landscapes. Recently, hemispherical photography has been used in a pilot study implemented in the Swedish National Forest Inventory (NFI) to estimate LAI. READ MORE
