Fire history and stand structure was examined in twelve virgin forest stands situated within
forest reserves in northern Sweden. The selected stands represented fire refuges as well as …

Structural changes were analysed in two virgin forest stands by comparing tree data
collected in 1922 and 1994. One stand was dominated by pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), while …

The population dynamics of Betula pubescens and Picea abies in a boreal forest near
Kvikkjokk, northern Sweden, are governed by a process of storm gap regeneration similar to …

Almost all productive Swedish forests have been managed for timber production for a long
period of time. More sensitive so-called red-listed species are today restricted to small …

The fire history of Norra Kvills National Park in southeastern hemiboreal Sweden was
reconstructed for the last 600 years by cross-dating of fire scars in trees, stumps and snags …

The relationshops of fire history to forest type and topography were examined on 75 sample
plots in Muddus National Park (50 000 ha; northern Sweden). A correlation matrix was …

The occurrence of forest fires in the Muddus National Park (area, 50 000 ha), just north of the
Arctic Circle in northern Sweden, was investigated on 75 separate sample plots. Between …

Stand structure was studied on thirty 1-ha plots in mature managed and old-growth forest
stands dominated by Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst.) in southern Finland. The forests …

We studied a ca 200 ha large forest site that holds an exceptionally large number of red-
listed saproxylic beetles. We conducted pollen, charcoal and dendroecological analyses to …

In the past 30 years, many stand structural attributes (SSAs) have been suggested and
structural indices have been developed to describe the complex structure of forests. Most …
