Silviculture of mixed forests
By establishing and managing mixed forests, we aim to better reconcile the objectives of timber production, carbon sequestration, forest resilience, and diversity. Updating forest management practices is essential to prepare for a changing climate and to ensure that forest use objectives, such as timber production and biodiversity, are met.
Multi-objective silviculture
Finland's diverse and abundant forest resources form the foundation for their sustainable utilization. As the operating environment for the forest sector changes, the objectives for forest management are becoming more varied, and the available options are increasing.
Tending options for seedling stands
On this site, we demonstrate the establishment of spruce-birch mixed forest in the juvenile stand management and compare the later development of mixed stands with that of pure spruce and untreated spruce stands.
Tree species diversification
Regeneration tree species are selected based on site fertility and soil type to ensure optimal use of the land's productive capacity for forest growth. To enhance biological diversity and climate resilience, forest regeneration focuses on diversifying the tree species suitable for the site.
