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

Mostarin Ara et al.

Summary: The study reveals that Norway spruce and Scots pine are the main species in young forests in Sweden, with regeneration of Scots pine potentially affected by seedling mortality and browsing. This may result in a significant proportion of young forests developing into mixtures of conifers and broadleaves.

Pre-commercial thinning in Norway spruce-birch mixed stands can provide abundant forage for ungulates without losing volume production

Mostarin Ara et al.

Summary: In mixed stands of Norway spruce and birch, different pre-commercial thinning strategies can achieve a trade-off between timber and forage production, but have a negative effect on forage availability.

Financial performance of diverse levels of early competition suppression and pre-commercial thinning on loblolly pine stand development

S. M. Tanger et al.

Summary: The study found that intensive vegetation control can increase financial returns in forestry plantations, but introducing pre-commercial thinning may undermine this effect. While 5 years of vegetation suppression can increase yields, in some cases the yield increase may not offset the high costs of early vegetation control. Over a 29-year rotation, treatments with lower costs are increasingly favored as discount rates increase.
