Damage to Picea abies Regeneration After Final Cutting of Shelterwood with Single- and Double-grip Harvester Systems

Logging-related damage to forest regeneration is a problem during final cutting in the shelterwood system. In order to compare the effects of logging methods, damage to natural Norway spruce [Picea abies (L.) Karst.] regeneration caused by single- (SGH) and double-grip harvester (DGH) systems was st...

Description
Summary:Logging-related damage to forest regeneration is a problem during final cutting in the shelterwood system. In order to compare the effects of logging methods, damage to natural Norway spruce [Picea abies (L.) Karst.] regeneration caused by single- (SGH) and double-grip harvester (DGH) systems was studied in three shelterwoods (132-234 m 3 ob ha -1 ) in Sweden. Between 38 and 65% of the original seedlings (6 400-25 400 ha -1
