Överlevnad och tillväxt för Douglasgran i södra Sverige

Sammanfattning: After the two big hurricanes called “Gudrun” (2005) and “Per” (2007) in the south of Sweden, some landowners planted Douglas fir instead of the traditional Norway spruce and Scots pine. They did it for different reasons. Some of them spreading their "risk", others because they wanted better growth or to obtain a more storm-resistant stand and trees more protected against rot. In this study, survival and growth were examined on Douglas fir in 21 different locations, owned by private landowners in southern Sweden. The aim of the study was to find out if the Douglas fir has good potential for lager establishment, particularly in the south of Sweden.
