Kantzoners påverkan på höjd- och diametertillväxt samt markvegetationens artsammansättning hos angränsande tallbestånd i sydöstra Sverige | Forest edge effect on height and diameter growth and field vegetation diversity in adjoining Scots pine stands in southeastern Sweden

Broo, Matilda
Several studies carried out in boreal forests have found significant edge effects in Scots pine although, none of them in southern Sweden. The aim of this study was to investigate edge effects in adjacent Scots pine stands and its influence on tree growth and field vegetation composition. This was carried out in 10 selected forest edges in southeastern Sweden. Results showed reduced number of stems, height, diameter and basal area growth among young trees in particular within 2 m from the forest edge. In the older stands number of stems, diameter and basal area growth increased within the first 2 m from the edge. Field vegetation inventory showed differences in composition in the adjacent stands. In the older stands lichens, lingonberry and blueberry were more frequent, while heather and grasses showed a higher appearance in young stands.
