Do we need care thinning in young pine stands in their typical habitats? [PDF]

Сибирский лесной журнал, 2020
Thinning is the main activity in the system of sustainable forest management. They define target indicators, which will have forest stands by the final cuttings. Scots pine Pinus sylvestris L. is the most widespread of economically valuable species.

Regeneration failure of Scots pine changes the species composition of young forests

Scandinavian Journal of Forest Research, 2021
How seedling mortality and browsing affects species composition of regenerating forests has been mostly studied on a small scale. Yet, large-scale analyses based on extensive data are essential for robust prediction of species composition in young ...

Forest floor bryophyte and lichen diversity in Scots pine and Norway spruce production forests

, 2021
Bryophytes and lichens are two main components of the forest floor vegetation. They provide essential ecosystem services, including nutrient recycling and water regulation. Here, we contrast the species richness, cover and community composition of forest

GEOGRAPHICAL VARIATION IN THE INBREEDING DEPRESSION OF SCOTS PINE [PDF]

Evolution, 1996
The magnitude of inbreeding depression caused by recessive mutations in a population is dependent on the mutation rate and on the intensity of selection against the mutations. We studied geographical differences in the level of early inbreeding depression of Scots pine in a common garden experiment.

Architecture of Scots pine crown. [PDF]

Silva Fennica, 1986
Dimensions (length, width and thickness) of needles in crowns of young Scots pine ( L.) were found to be related linearly to each other. Similarly, the needle area was linearly correlated with the needle biomass. In the lower crown, needle length was linearly correlated with the length of the shoot, but in the upper crown needle length did not vary ...

Do stand structure and admixture of tree species affect Scots pine aboveground biomass production and stability on its natural site?

Journal of Forest Science, 2018
The paper analyses stand structure and production on two experimental forest stand series of mature pure and mixed Scots pine stands, growing on natural Scots pine sites in the Czech Republic. Sessile oak was the main admixed species.

Growth and resilience responses of Scots pine to extreme droughts across Europe depend on predrought growth conditions

Global Change Biology, 2020
Global climate change is expected to further raise the frequency and severity of extreme events, such as droughts. The effects of extreme droughts on trees are difficult to disentangle given the inherent complexity of drought events (frequency, severity,

Species mixing reduces drought susceptibility of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and oak (Quercus robur L., Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) – Site water supply and fertility modify the mixing effect

Forest Ecology and Management, 2020
Tree species mixing has been widely promoted as a promising silvicultural tool for reducing drought stress. However, so far only a limited number of species combinations have been studied in detail, revealing inconsistent results.

Recent browsing damage by moose on Scots pine, birch and aspen in young commercial forests – effects of forage availability, moose population density and site productivity

Silva Fennica, 2014
Moose browsing damage from the winter preceding the study (recent damage) on Scots pine, birch and aspen was examined in relation to forage availability, an index of moose population density and site productivity in young forests in the hemiboreal zone ...

The effect of planting, seeding and soil preparation on the regeneration success of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) on drained peatlands – 10-year results

Metsanduslikud Uurimused, 2020
We studied the effect of regeneration (planting/seeding) and soil preparation methods (no soil preparation/scalping/mounding) on the regeneration success of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) on three drained peatland Scots pine stands in northern Finland.
