2. Influence of spacing and thinning on wood properties in conifer plantations
Abstract : As reported in four appended papers (I-IV), effects of genotype (half-sib family) and initial spacing (I) or initial spacing (II) and various thinning methods (III & IV) on stands and properties of sawn-products were investigated in Scots pine (I & IV), lodgepole pine (II) and Norway spruce (III) stands in southern Sweden. Most of the analysed growth parameters were found to be affected by interaction between genotype and initial spacing, but the treatments had no significant interactive effects on most quality parameters (I).

3. Establishment and early management of young forest in Sweden : stand structure, spatial design and pre-commercial thinning
Abstract : Demands on forests have shifted from one (production) to multiple ecosystem services. New management strategies need to be developed to balance production and other services. In this thesis, I evaluate alternative forest management strategies to balance production, profit, and multiple ecosystem services. READ MORE

4. Impacts of pine and eucalyptus plantations on carbon and nutrients stocks and fluxes in miombo forests ecosystems
Abstract : Knowledge of how commercial pine and eucalyptus plantations affect soil carbon and nutrient status is important in Mozambique, where incentives are available to increase the area of forest plantations and also to conserve mature miombo forests. Tree species growing on similar sites may affect ecosystem carbon differently if they allocate carbon to aboveground and belowground parts at different rates. READ MORE

5. Oak as retention tree in commercial spruce forests : effects on species diversity of Saproxylic beetles and wood production
Abstract : Retaining trees valuable for biodiversity is a common conservation measure. There are indications that such trees have important benefits for the diversity of many species groups. However, retaining trees may also have negative effects on timber production. READ MORE
