  1. 1. Can precommercial thinning be used to create more diversity after planting spruce?

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Astrid Bygge; [2024]
    Keywords : Forestry; pre-commercial; stand structure; heterogeneity; silviculture; mixed forests; monoculture; Picea abies; Betula spp.;

    Abstract : Mixed forests will harbour other ecosystem services than a planted coniferous monoculture. This study used early results from a long-term experiment to examine if different precommercial thinning treatments can be used to increase diversity in planted stands of Norway spruce (Picea abies) mixed with high densities of natural regeneration of birch (Betula spp. READ MORE

  3. 2. Mixed Stand vs Monoculture : a Simulation Study Assessing Growth and Profitability of Norway spruce and Birch in Mixtures and Pure Stands

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Babatunde Dosumu; [2022]
    Keywords : N.spruce-birch stands; monoculture; thinning treatment; mixed forest;

    Abstract : Picea abies L. Karst (N. spruce) monocultures dominate the forest landscape of southern Sweden due to their suitability for the prevalent site conditions, well established silviculture, and profitability. However, disturbances such as windthrow, bark beetle damage, and Heterobasidion root rot pose a risk to N. READ MORE

    Author : Jennifer Chaimungkhun Johansson; [2022]
    Keywords : bilberry; vaccinium myrtillus; nutrition; maturity classes; temperature loggers;

    Abstract : Stand characteristics is a crude description of a forest and provides general knowledge of what the forest looks like, for example plant composition and site productivity. Factors and measurements like tree canopy and basal area affects the near ground microclimate through temperature regulation, light intake, and available soil nutrient. READ MORE

  6. 5. 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
