Abandoning conversion from even-aged to uneven-aged forest stands – the effects on production and economic returns Open
There is growing interest in continuous cover forestry in Sweden. The historical domination of even-aged forest management means there is a need to focus on methods for transforming even-aged to uneven-aged stands. Practical conversion man…

Forest roads in Sweden – infrastructure with multiple uses and diverse impacts Open
Since the 1950s, more than 200 000 km of roads have been built in Sweden’s forests, making them easily accessible and open to multiple uses. The aim of this study was to review the impacts of forest roads in Sweden from a broad perspective…

Forest management in northern Fennoscandia: the need for solutions that mitigate conflicts during forest regeneration and increase the use of continuous cover forestry Open
Today, conflicts often occur in northern Fennoscandia (also known as Sápmi) between forestry and reindeer husbandry. Continuous cover forestry (CCF) is requested by both reindeer herding communities and the general public and is becoming m…

Use of Hydrological Models to Predict Risk for Rutting in Logging Operations Open
Using hydrological models with a high temporal resolution to predict risk for rutting may be a possible method to improve planning of forwarder trails or to schedule logging operations in sites with low bearing capacity to periods when soi…

Precision thinning – a comparison of optimal stand-level and pixel-level thinning Open
Precision forestry allows decision-making on tree level or pixel level, as compared to stand-level data. However, little is known about the importance of precision in thinning decisions and its long-term effects on within-stand variation, …

Capturing complexity: Forests, decision-making and climate change mitigation action Open
Managed forests can play an important role in climate change mitigation due to their capacity to sequester carbon. However, it has proven difficult to harness their full potential for climate change mitigation. Managed forests are often refe…

Carbon balance in production forestry in relation to rotation length Open
The choice of a rotation length is an integral part of even-aged forest management regimes. In this study, we simulated stand development and carbon pools in four even-aged stands representing the two most common tree species in Fennoscand…

Varying rotation lengths in northern production forests: Implications for habitats provided by retention and production trees Open
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 p…

Influence of soil type, cartographic depth-to-water, road reinforcement and traffic intensity on rut formation in logging operations: a survey study in Sweden Open
Rut formation caused by logging operations has been recognised as a challenge for Swedish forestry. Frequent traffic with heavy machines on extraction roads, together with a warmer climate, is one of the factors that increases the risk of …

Multivariabla täthetsanalyser med Spacemate - en studie av Malmös infartsleder Open
The concept of urban density is lacking clarity since it can be defined in different ways, but has tradionally consisted of one numerical measurement. To obtain further information about the density of a city, better methods with more vari…
