    Keywords : summer temperature reconstruction; climate change; Scotland; Scots pines; ultra-high image resolution; blue intensity; rekonstruktion av sommartemperatur; klimatförändringar; Skottland; skotska tallar; hög bildupplösning; blå intensitet;

    Abstract : Advances in scanner technology have made it possible to obtain high resolution (6000 dpi) images of tree samples. Due to the images’ increased capability of resolving anatomical wood structures, the new technology could be of benefit to dendroclimatology.  This study attempts to expand on Rydval et al.

    Abstract : En framtida befarad virkessvacka under 2000-talet gjorde att skogsbruket i Sverige började experimentera med främmande trädslag på 1960-talet. Målet var att öka produktionen med det snabbväxande trädslaget contortatall. Idag finns mer än 650 000 ha contortaskog på varierande marker i Norrland. READ MORE

  5. 4. Prescribed burning in Sweden : an evaluation of structural outcomes from restoration oriented prescribed burns

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Virginia Hermanson; [2020]
    Keywords : prescribed burning; restoration; boreal forest; biodiversity burning; dead wood;

    Abstract : The application of prescribed burning as a conservation measure is a growing trend in Fennoscandia to restore forest landscapes that have been heavily impacted by humans. Both intensive management for forestry and wildfire suppression altered the disturbances shaping boreal forests over the past centuries, which seen today are more homogenous, lacking dead wood and deciduous trees, and are in the successional process towards darker Picea abies (Norway spruce) dominated stands.

  6. 5. Tree species classification with YOLOv3 : Classification of Silver Birch (Betula pendula) and Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris)

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Samuel Norling; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Automation of tree species classification during a forest inventory could potentially provide more efficiency and better results for forest companies and stakeholding agencies. This thesis investigates how well a state of the art object detection system, YOLOv3, performs this classification task. READ MORE
