Table 3.

Indicator values for the collateral effects of reduced rotation length. Pairs of values indicate the short-term effects (upper value; average over the first 30 years of simulation) and the long-term effect (bottom value; average over the remaining 170 years). The values are averages over 10 replicate simulations. In case of climate change, also the 14 climate scenarios are averaged. RC: reference climate, CC: climate change.
