Long-Term Influence of Stump-Removal on Components of Hemiboreal Pine Forest Ecosystem

Use of whole tree biomass becomes increasingly more important due to rising demand for renewable energy and materials replace fossil resources. Therefore, assessment influence this approach on hemiboreal forest ecosystem is essential. The aim our study was assess the long-term full removal (FBR) ground vegetation soil chemical composition in Scots pine stands. Study sites were located Vacciniosa, Myrtillosa, Myrtillosa mel. types. Almost half a century from FBR, it had no notable or significant number species. Significant differences overall between stands established after FBR conventional harvesting (stem-wood removal) not found by detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) similarities (ANOSIM). In addition, values Ellenberg Düll indicators similar and, most cases (determined type parameter), same age control Similarly, these carbon nitrogen pools. Thus, there been negative effect as indicated soil.
