The boreal forests of Fennoscandia are largely dominated by Norway spruce and Scots pine. Conifer monocultures have been favoured in forest management during the last decades. Recently, concern has risen that consisting only one tree species could be vulnerable to biotic damage. Additionally, environmental societal changes placing new demands on utilization, thus shifting focus alternative options providing a wider scale ecosystem services. It proposed mixed better than with respect...

Multiple-use forestry requires comprehensive planning to maximize the utilization and sustainability of many forest resources whose growth productivity are interconnected. Forest fungi represent an economically important nonwood resource that provides food, medicine, recreation worldwide. A vast majority edible marketed mushrooms belong grow symbiotically with trees. To respond need for tools multiple-use forestry, we developed empirical models predicting production wild in pine forests...
This paper presents a distance‐dependent yield model for mixed stand of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) that accounts the possible mixture effects separately each tree can be numerically optimized. The consists single‐tree growth models, distance‐independent height mortality thinning algorithm. algorithm is controlled by basal areas trigger thinnings, relative removals from different species diameter classes. role to specify trees harvested; this...
Natural regeneration-based silviculture has been increasingly regarded as a reliable option in sustainable forest management. However, successful natural regeneration is not always easy to achieve. Recently, new concerns have arisen because of changing future climate. To date, models proved helpful decision-making concerning regeneration. The implementation such into optimization routines promising approach providing managers with accurate tools for planning. In the present study, we...
Highlights• The site fertility significantly affected the abundance of cowberry on mineral soils, spruce mires and pine mires.• stand basal area dominant tree species were among most important forest structural predictors in model for coverage.• In yield developed soil sites, coverage plants statistically significant predictors.
Great interests in silver birch (Betula pendula) forests have increased an attempt to handle biodiversity and resilient forest management with more broad-leaved forests. However, up-to-date growth yield models are still needed predict the stand development future support operational planning. The objectives of this study were develop site index characteristic for plantations. Data modelling from thinning spacing experiments tree breeding trials on plantations southern central Finland....
<ja:p>The absolute and relative effects of the first thinning on diameter growth distribution along stems were studied in 98 Scots pines (Pinus sylvestris L.) at heights 1.3, 4, 6 8 m. The data cover one 3-year pre-thinning period four post-thinning periods plots with densities varying from 575 to 3400 haâ1. A shift point maximum down bole was found during 3 years after thinning, a back up stem later. response over whole 12-year strongest nearer base heavier thinning. largest trees had...
The global growth of the consumption non-wood forest products (NWFPs) is evident due to current trends in lifestyle and consumption. Alongside increased popularity commercial use NWFPs, their yields are also more often taken into account management planning. Empirical yield models recently developed for different NWFPs enable managers include predicted multi-objective optimization. However, knowledge on synergies trade-offs between timber production scanty. In this study, we analyzed these...
