21. Long-term effects of nitrogen (N) additions on boreal forest
Abstract : The studies presented in this thesis aim to increase our understanding of the long-term effects of anthropogenic nitrogen (N) input via fertilization or atmospheric N deposition on tree growth and forest understory in boreal forest. Firstly, I studied the effects of low annual N addition simulating atmospheric N deposition on tree growth and variables linked to site fertility in two different forest ecosystems, i. READ MORE

22. Game of crops : genetic composition and adaptation of seed orchard crops
Abstract : Orchard populations are artificial and intensively managed populations of elite, best-performing trees that are established for mass production of genetically improved seeds. Seed orchards connect cycles of selection, breeding, and testing of plus-trees with the deployment of the improved seeds at the operational plantations. READ MORE

23. Silvicultural regimes and early biomass thinning in young, dense pine stands
Abstract : 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. In this respect, the long-term effects of corridor pre-commercial thinning (PCT) and thinning on growth and yield were investigated in 11 Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L. READ MORE

24. Replacing Scots pine with Norway spruce : implications for biodiversity in production forests
Abstract : The production forests of southern Sweden are mainly dominated by either Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) or Norway spruce (Picea abies). Public concerns are now being raised regarding a decrease in the area on which Scots pine is being regenerated, and an increased reliance on Norway spruce production stands. READ MORE

25. Fire history and tree population dynamics in Białowieża Forest, Poland and Belarus
Abstract : Fire history and fire regime parameters in relation to the long-term tree population dynamics were studied with dendroecological methods across coniferous habitats of Białowieża Forest (E Poland and W Belarus), a semi-natural European temperate woodland ecosystem. In four different studies various aspects of fire dynamics were explored by using nearly 1500 tree ring samples of Pinus sylvestris and Picea abies. READ MORE
