Sambandet i tallungskog mellan skötselmetod och älgbetesskador

Sammanfattning: Moose cause major problems in our young pine forest stands. This study is trying to investigate the casual reactions of damages to stands and to individual trees caused by moose. The study is based on data from 16 objects in Vemhåns Moose Management Area. The results show that stands that were commercially thinned had lesser damages than stands that were not commercially thinned. The results also show that the most frequent damages to individual trees are caused by top browsing.
