Estimation of periodic annual increment of tree ring widths by airborne laser scanning

Matti Maltamo et al.

Summary: This study examines the prediction of future forest growth using ALS data by measuring the periodic annual increment (PAI) of tree ring width. The results show that metrics related to intensity play a significant role in the prediction, while the effective leaf area index is not important. Additional field information can improve the accuracy of the predictions.

Tree-level differences in Norway spruce and Scots pine growth after extreme thinning treatments

Simone Bianchi et al.

Summary: This study investigated tree-level dynamics in spruce- and pine-dominated stands after intermediate commercial thinning of different type and intensity. The results showed that extreme thinning increased individual tree basal area growth and decreased stem slenderness for both species. There were only small differences across thinning types, suggesting that crown thinning is a viable alternative to the widely-used low thinning in Fennoscandia.

Assessing the Dependencies of Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) Structural Characteristics and Internal Wood Property Variation

Ville Kankare et al.

Summary: The study found that different silvicultural treatments did not significantly affect mean wood density, but the relationship between structural characteristics and mean ring width was more pronounced under varying treatments. Single time terrestrial laser scanning can capture the variability of structural characteristics and their interactions with mean ring width.

Effects of Stem Density on Crown Architecture of Scots Pine Trees

Ninni Saarinen et al.

Summary: Trees adapt to their growing conditions by regulating the sizes of their parts and their relationships. However, the effects of silvicultural practices on crown size and shape and also tree growth are still limited. This study used terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) to provide detailed attributes for crown characterization and found that increasing stem density decreased Scots pine crown size.

Environmental Impacts of Boom-Corridor and Selectively Thinned Small-Diameter-Tree Forests

Teresa de la Fuente et al.

Summary: European forest stands of small-diameter trees can provide industries with biomass as an alternative to fossil use. The combination of accumulating felling heads (AFH) and boom-corridor thinning (BCT) technique can increase harvester productivity and supply cost efficiency. BCT has the potential to reduce costs and environmental impact compared with selective thinning (ST).

With increasing site quality asymmetric competition and mortality reduces Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) stand structuring across Europe

Hans Pretzsch et al.

Summary: The study found that the stand structure becomes more homogeneous with increasing site quality, with the asymmetry of competition and growth distribution increasing with higher site index. Mortality mainly eliminates small trees with increasing site index, reducing size variation and structural heterogeneity.

Terrestrial Laser Scanning in Assessing the Effect of Different Thinning Treatments on the Competition of Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) Forests

Ghasem Ronoud et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of different thinning treatments on stem- and crown-based competition of trees using terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) point clouds. The results showed that thinning treatments significantly affected stem- and crown-based competition indices, and thinning from below and from above had similar effects on competition.

Decision Support Tool for Tree Species Selection in Forest Regeneration Based on Harvester Data

Timo Saksa et al.

Summary: Precision forestry, which involves dividing a forest stand into smaller units and managing it at a micro-stand level, offers new possibilities to increase forest growth, adjust forest structure, and enhance forest health. The study proposes a new method for utilizing harvester data to delineate micro-stands and make decisions on tree species selection, based on precise information on soil properties and microtopography, resulting in improved stand growth. This approach could serve as a decision support tool in the regeneration phase, with potential economic benefits from considering mixed stand structures compared to single species options.
