Table 1.

Indicators used to study the effect of a reduced rotation length on the forest ecosystems. All indicators were calculated as landscape-level averages, and changes are relative to the current rotation length (Udef).

Type of effect Indicator [% change]
Main effect Mean forest age
Regular timber volume harvested (excluding salvage logged timber)
Growing stock affected by wind
Growing stock affected by bark beetles
Collateral effect Mean stock of the total landscape carbon
Abundance of large trees (DBH above 60 cm)
Tree size diversity index (H index)
Shannon diversity of tree species
Rao‘s Quadratic Entropy Index of tree species shade tolerance
