  1. 16. Ekonomi och virkesproduktion för hyggesfritt respektive trakthyggesbruk : en analys av ekonomiska och produktionsmässiga konsekvenser

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

    Author : Elias Källmark; Petter Tillberg; [2023]
    Keywords : trakthyggesbruk; hyggesfritt; blädningsbruk; skärmställning; hyggen; PlanWise; nuvärde; kalkylränta;

    Abstract : Skogsbruket som bedrivs i Sverige har under de senaste åren kritiserats av myndigheter och allmänheten. En ny skogsstrategi från EU har tagits fram för öka andelen skogsbruksmetoder, så som hyggesfria alternativ, som främjar den biologisk mångfalden samt minska koldioxidutsläppen från skogen och därav minska andelen trakthyggesbruk som bedrivs i dagsläget.

  3. 17. Habitat types in relation to bird diversity in boreal forestry landscapes in Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Engla Grönvall; [2023]
    Keywords : Biodiversty; Forestry; Bird diversity; Habitat types; Species Richness;

    Abstract : Boreal forests in Europe are intensively managed for timber and pulp production, resulting in decreased biodiversity, and in the long-term leading to a reduced number of functioning ecosystem services. To develop a more sustainable forest management it is important to investigate what features and habitat types are needed to preserve a high diversity of species within the forestry landscapes.
