1. 16. Exploring the conditions for a shift to Continuous Cover Forestry in Sweden : a practice-based approach to understanding what enables and challenges forest management practitioners to practice Continuous Cover Forestry

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

   Author : Filippa Morner; [2023]
   Keywords : environmental communication; social practice theory; practice based approach; Continuous Cover Forestry; forest management practices; Swedish forestry;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates the adoption of Continuous Cover Forestry (CCF) in response to mounting environmental concerns stemming from conventional forestry in Sweden. Utilising a social practice-based approach with qualitative interviews and observations of forest managers who engage in CCF “on the ground”, the study uncovers a complex of practices connected to CCF, encompassing policy and regulation, research, advice, services, and forest ownership.

3. 17. Climate effects of managed boreal forests : combining effects from carbon balance and albedo

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

   Author : Anna Valeria Requardt; [2023]
   Keywords : Remotely Sensed Albedo; Age-Albedo pattern; C-flux Radiative Forcing; Boreal Forests Climate Effect;

   Abstract : Boreal forests are considered as a global carbon (C) sink and are utilized for climate-change mitigation. Judging the climate impact of a forest solely on its C balance might leave an incomplete picture, since forest-climate feedbacks are also caused by various other biophysical and biogeochemical processes, e.g., albedo effects.
