Forests are of major importance to human society, contributing several crucial ecosystem
services. Biodiversity is suggested to positively influence multiple services but evidence from …

Boreal forests are important global carbon (C) sinks and, therefore, considered as a key
element in climate change mitigation policies. However, their actual C sink strength is …

In Europe, two commercially important treelike birch species occur naturally: silver birch
(Betula pendula Roth) and downy birch (Betula pubescens Ehrh.). Both species have a wide …

In Sweden, where forests cover more than 60% of the land area, silviculture and the use of
forest products by industry and society play crucial roles in the national carbon balance. A …

Regression models relating variables derived from airborne laser scanning (ALS) to above-
ground and below-ground biomass were estimated for 1395 sample plots in young and …

Past In the early twentieth century, forestry was one of the most important sectors in Norway
and an agitated discussion about the perceived decline of forest resources due to over …

We analyse the short‐and long‐term consequences for atmospheric greenhouse gas (GHG)
concentrations of forest management strategies and forest product uses in Sweden by …

Variations in fine root biomass of trees and understory in 16 stands throughout Finland were
examined and relationships to site and stand characteristics determined. Norway spruce fine …

The boreal forest is an important global carbon sink, but its response to drought remains
uncertain. Here, we compiled biometric-and chamber-based flux data from 50 boreal forest …

The complex fluxes between standing and harvested carbon stocks, and the linkage
between harvested biomass and fossil fuel substitution, call for a holistic, system-wide …
