  1. 1. A comparison of thinning programmes in European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) based on permanent plots in Southern Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Delphine Anni Fortu; [2023]
    Keywords : beech; volume growth; diameter development; thinning programme; quality traits;

    Abstract : The present study investigated 7 thinning experiments in beech which were established in 1971. The purpose was to compare two thinning programmes with different thinning intervals. The programmes (A and B) were designed according to yield tables by Carbonnier (1971). The experimental plots have been measured regularly in 5 to 10 years intervals. READ MORE
