  1. 1. Natural regeneration after wind disturbance

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Maaris Varrik; [2019]
    Keywords : storm; gap; microsite; deadwood; RipleyK; wind; disturbance;

    Abstract : Wind is one of the most common natural disturbances in boreal forests, creating gaps in the forest, which are important for natural regeneration- creating suitable light, space and nutrient availability. Common regeneration practice after a wind throw is soil scarification and planting but in forest set-asides it is not applicable in Estonia. READ MORE

  3. 2. A VIEW INTO FUTURE POTENTIAL ICE THROW POLICIES AND THEIR EFFECT ON THE YIELD OF A VIRTUAL WIND FARM

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Marc Noël de Wild; [2017]
    Keywords : Wind Power; Safety Policy; Ice-Throw; Ice Fall;

    Abstract : There is a growth of wind power development in icing climates, in which ice accumulation on objects takes place. This leads to specific challenges including ice throw, the detachment of ice from wind turbine blades. READ MORE

  4. 3. Choice of tree species in the aftermath of two major storms : a qualitative study of private forest owners in southern Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Isak Lodin; [2016]
    Keywords : reforestation; small-scale private forest owners; Gudrun; Götaland; Norway spruce; reforestation grants;

    Abstract : The forests in Götaland, the most southern part of Sweden, are dominated by Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst). This species is very important for the Swedish forest sector, but also associated with certain risks, such as wind-throw. READ MORE

  5. 4. Modelling of ice throws from wind turbines

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Joakim Renström; [2015]
    Keywords : Ice throw; icing; wind turbines; balistic model; Iskast; nedisning; vindkraftverk; ballistisk modell;

    Abstract : As the wind energy sector expands into areas with colder climate, the problem with ice throw will increase. Due to a rotor diameter of more than 120 meters for a typical modern turbine with an effect of 3.3 MW, the separated ice fragment will get a high initial velocity, and therefore, they will also be thrown a long distance.

  6. 5. Developing a model with help of GIS to assess risk for Storm Damage in Kronoberg County

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Frida Ulfves; [2015]
    Keywords : storm damage; wind throw; classification modelling; climate change; forest management; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : During the 20th century storm damage in Sweden has increased as a consequence of how the forest has been managed, an increased proportion of forest and older tree stands. The increase of storm damage has consequences for the regional economy, infrastructure, foresters, and the society. READ MORE
