Management strategies in the Reference scenario
| Forest type | Forest area (ha) | Share of total area, % | Management |
|---|---|---|---|
| Forest assigned to management with increased consideration for other values | 4896 | 4.2 | Prolonged rotation period, natural regeneration, 40% broadleaves left in cleanings and thinnings |
| Other forest | 97 719 | 84.7 | Business-as-usual clear-cut forestry. Regeneration with plantation of Scots pine or Norway spruce, pre-commercial thinnings, up to 3 thinnings, final felling within 30 years of reaching the minimum final felling age. Regeneration with Lodgepole pine possible for SCA and Holmen, in areas currently dominated by Lodgepole pine, or situated outside key and core areas for reindeer husbandry and with bilberry vegetation type. Final felling of Lodgepole pine at 55–60 years of age and regeneration with Scots pine (Sveaskog). Fertilization possible outside key and core areas for reindeer husbandry, in forests with bilberry vegetation type |
