wildfire events that affect ecosystem properties and climate feedbacks including greenhouse …

The importance of natural disturbances for biodiversity is well-documented in the

The objectives of this thesis are to evaluate (1) the influence of slope aspect on boreal plant
responses to clear-cutting and (2) the effects of post-harvest extraction of bioenergy (logging …

The first aim of this thesis was to explore the structural characteristics of near-natural forests
and to quantify how human utilization has changed them. For this, we examined the stand …

In the aftermath of natural hazards, opportunities often arise for society to make changes that
prevent future losses. These changes can also have environmental impacts, increase …

Uneven-aged forest management based on selection systems is surrounded by strong
feelings in Sweden and debates for and against have been going on for more than 100 …
