Genetic expression of Scots pine growth and survival in varying environments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The aim of the studies underlying this thesis was to quantify the genetic variability of important traits used for ranking candidate trees in northern Swedish Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) breeding populations, with special focus on growth and ...

Effects of phenotypic selection on height-diameter ratio of Norway spruce and Scots pine in Sweden

open access: yesSilva Fennica, 2018
Genetically improved Norway spruce ( (L.) Karst.) and Scots pine ( L.) are extensively used in operational Swedish forestry plantations. However, relatively little is known about the stem slenderness (height-diameter ratio) of genetically improved ...

Effect of buds manually removal and their damage by large pine weevil (Hylobius abietis L.) on Scots pine seedlings in Siversky Donets river valley

open access: yesНаукові праці Лісівничої академії наук України, 2018
Large pine weevil (Hylobius abietis L.) damages different organs of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) seedlings in unclosed plantations, including foliage, buds, stem bark and roots.

Performance of lodgepole pine and Scots pine in field trials located in north-west Russia

open access: yesSilva Fennica, 2017
Mortality, stem growth and quality of lodgepole pine ( var. ) originating from the six Swedish seed orchards and local Scots pine ( L.) were estimated in four field trials established in the Komi Republic (north-west Russia). A randomized row-plot design

Alike but still different: coexistence of four raptor species explained by breeding habitat segregation

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Understanding how species competing for similar resources coexist and influence each other has been, and still is, one of the big questions of community ecology. This question has often been tackled by comparing ecological niches of species pairs, although usually more than just two species compete for the same resources.

Spatiotemporal patterns of genetic variation for growth and fertility in Scots pine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Genetic testing plays an important role in tree breeding. Understanding basic genetic parameters for growth and fertility is a prerequisite for developing a successful breeding strategy to balance between short- and long-term gains.

Life‐history traits and phylogeny structure taxon‐specific species–substrate relationships in deadwood

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
To understand the structuring of species assemblages, integrating life‐history traits and evolutionary heritage in analyses is vital. This allows the assessment of a mechanistic link between species and their environment. Deadwood systems are vital for nutrient cycling and biodiversity support, governed by complex intra‐ and inter‐specific fungal and ...

Technical wildness: Modernity, romanticism, and the technocratic turn in Scottish rewilding

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Technical wildness is a new and increasingly influential culture of nature. This paper marks its emergence in Scotland in the early 2020s. Focusing on Scotland's rapidly evolving land management sector, the paper traces how private rewilding companies position science‐led land management and natural capital markets as the most effective ...

Silvicultural regimes and early biomass thinning in young, dense pine stands [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The aim of this work was to determine how early management activities in young, dense pine forests affect tree and stand characteristics and profitability and to assess the future potential for tree biomass harvesting and use.

Estimation of fire resistance of partially logged pine stands in the Krasnoyarsk forest-steppe [PDF]

open access: yesСибирский лесной журнал, 2019
Scots pine forests are extremely fire hazardous. They show high fire frequency compared to other forest formations. This is due to their high natural fire danger, as along with high recreation activity, which is determined by a fairly dense road network ...
