Influence of management on susceptibility of Nordic boreal forests to damage by natural disturbances
Natural disturbances are fundamental in shaping forest ecosystems, yet management decisions in production forests can aggravate or mitigate their impacts. Understanding the interplay between forest adaptation strategies and susceptibility to damage is important for sustainable forest management. Here, we review the scientific literature to explore the relationship between natural disturbances and the impact of forest adaptation strategies on the …
Integrating wind damage vulnerability into long-term forest planning
Forest management affects vulnerability of forests to wind damage. • Forest planning can mitigate the vulnerability to wind damages. • The proposed model optimises management activities in space and time. • High-risk activities are restricted near vulnerable stands. • The model is adaptable and customisable. The vulnerability of forests to wind damage depends to a large degree on the characteristics of the specific stand and its neighboring stand…
Keeping pace with forestry
The multi-scale approach to conserving forest biodiversity has been used in Sweden since the 1980s, a period defined by increased reserve area and conservation actions within production forests. However, two thousand forest-associated species remain on Sweden’s red-list, and Sweden’s 2020 goals for sustainable forests are not being met. We argue that ongoing changes in the production forest matrix require more consideration, and that multi-scale …
Balancing different forest values
Varying rotation lengths in northern production forests
Because of the limited spatial extent and comprehensiveness of protected areas, an increasing emphasis is being placed on conserving habitats which promote biodiversity within production forest. For this reason, alternative silvicultural programs need to be evaluated with respect to their implications for forest biodiversity, especially if these programs are likely to be adopted. Here we simulated the effect of varied rotation length and associat…
