The effects of moose and pine density on browsing damage in Swedish pine forests

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Moose Alces alces is a culturally and economically important game species in Sweden, but their browsing on regenerating Scots pine trees Pinus sylvestris often causes extensive damage to the production and quality of timber. Forest and wildlife managers are faced with the dilemma of how to reduce damage to timber trees while also supporting moose ...

Sensitivity of Picea abies to butt rot in pure stands and in mixed stands with Pinus sylvestris in southern Sweden

open access: yesSilva Fennica, 2002
Repeatedly sampled data from permanent experimental plots in southern Sweden were used to model butt rot development in Norway spruce growing in pure stands and in mixed stands with Scots pine.

Tannin resin-boron associations: Leaching and biological resistance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The easy leaching of boron in wood preservation formulations has allowed to use this fungicide only for short term applications. The recently discovered adduct with flavonoids allows boron to resist longer periods of time within wood and consequently ...

Assessing the accuracy of field‐based versus laboratory methods for determining the age of roe deer

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Accurate age determination in roe deer Capreolus capreolus is essential for selective harvesting and informed population management, yet field‐based methods widely used by hunters remain imprecise. This study compared field‐based and laboratory age determination methods in 204 harvested roe deer, categorized by sex and habitat type (forest versus open ...

Modelling biomass of young and dense Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) dominated mixed forests in northern Sweden

open access: yesSilva Fennica, 2014
Biomass models for the biomass of above-ground tree components of Scots pine ( L.), Norway spruce ( [L.] Karst.) and birch ( Roth and Ehrh.) in young dense Scots pine dominated forest stands in northern Sweden were constructed.

Growth, productivity and heritability of the height of the seed progeny clonal hybrid seed plantation of Scots pine at 7 years of age [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Conducted studies on growth and productivity of seed progeny clonal hybrid seed plantation of scots pine in the test cultures. Test cultures of scots pine at 7 years of age have high rates of growth. Of the 20 subjects 9 families of offspring grow better

Habitat selection of moose in Sweden in managed boreal forests with Pinus contorta and P. sylvestris

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Human land use can take advantage of using exotic species to increase financial benefits. However, the use of exotic tree species might affect ecosystem functioning, potentially including the habitat use and movement behaviour of animals, modifying their ecological impact, and interactions with human land use.

Decreasing water availability reduces productivity in Swiss forests along an altitudinal gradient

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Forests are one of the most important terrestrial carbon sinks, but are increasingly under pressure due to drought, heat and the occurrence of extreme events. There are opposing longer term trends for European forest growth reported, and severe drought and disturbance ...

Molecular characterisation of Pinus sylvestris (L.) in Ireland at the western limit of the species distribution

open access: yesBMC Ecology and Evolution
Background Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) underwent significant population declines across much of northwest Europe during the mid-to-late Holocene and was thought to have become extirpated in Ireland from about 400 AD. However, most extant populations
