  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. Röjningsstrategiers effekt på stubbskottsutveckling och granmedelhöjd i blandbestånd av gran och björk

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Max Lindhe; Jonathan Samuelsson; [2023]
    Keywords : röjningsstrategi; stubbskott; björk; gran;

    Abstract : Olika röjningsstrategier förväntas påverka stubbskottsbildning hos röjstubbar av vårtbjörk (Betula Pendula Roth) och glasbjörk (Betula Pubescens Ehrh), men relativt få studier har gjorts på området, varför det finns utrymme för vidare forskning. Det huvudsakliga syftet med den här uppsatsen var att undersöka skillnaderna i stubbsskottsutveckling till följd av olika röjningsstrategier. READ MORE

  4. 3. Omställning till hyggesfritt skogsbruk – föryngring i skog som ställts om från trakthyggesbruk till blädningsbruk

    University essay from SLU/School for Forest Management

    Author : Ida Pontén; Ludvig Renell; [2022]
    Keywords : plantetablering; omföring; markstörning;

    Abstract : Skogsstyrelsen har fått uppdraget att öka kunskapen och användandet av hyggesfria metoder i det svenska skogsbruket. För att hyggesfri skogsskötsel ska kunna bli vanligare behöver skog som tidigare skötts med trakthyggesbruk istället börja skötas med hyggesfria metoder. READ MORE

  5. 4. 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
