  1. 1. Comparison of native and introduced tree species in a range from low to high productivity sites in southern Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Gailene Brazaityte; [2023]
    Keywords : introduced tree species; low productivity sites; moderate productivity sites; high productivity sites; Picea abies; Pinus sylvestris; Betula pendula; Picea glauca; Picea mariana; Picea sitchensis; Pinus contorta; Pseudotsuga menziesii; Abies grandis; Populus balsamifera; Larix x eurolepis; Populus tremula × Populus tremuloides;

    Abstract : The dilemma of climate change, biodiversity conservation and economic efficiency in nowadays forestry leads us to search for the new solutions. Introduction of non-native tree species becomes a more frequently explored field as a solution for the future problems. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. The land carbon sink of Lithuanian forests in the light of climate change: A model approach

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Patricija Marijauskaite; [2022]
    Keywords : Geography; Physical geography; Ecosystem analysis; Ecosystem modelling; LPJ-GUESS; Climate change; Forest sequestration; Land carbon sink; Norway spruce; Scot s pine; Silver birch; monoculture; silviculture; NPP; NBP; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Forests form the backbone of the European terrestrial carbon sink (State Forest Service & Ministry of Environment, 2018). As the European Union (EU) strives to become climate neutral by 2050, forests are accounted for the natural carbon absorption mechanism (European Commission, n.d.). READ MORE

  5. 4. How do stand composition and cervid densities influence the forest floor vegetation in a multi-cervid species context?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Clémentine Leemans; [2021]
    Keywords : alces; cerus elaphus; dama; capreolus; cervid; vaccinium; myrtillus; pinus sylvestris; picea abies; browsing; forest floor cover;

    Abstract : The cover of forest floor vascular plants has been decreasing in Sweden over recent decades. Cervid rely heavily on this vegetation for food. With this study, I showed that habitat type highly influences the quality and quantity of the forest floor vegetation. READ MORE
