Abstract

The paper studies the growth of mature and overmature pine and spruce stands following selective and gradual cuttings of various intensity using the cut-to-length technology. We found that the best practice, ensuring key functions of protective forests, for even-aged stands is gradual cutting with 2–3 cuts, whereas the best practice for uneven-aged stands is selective cutting with a 30…40 % thinning rate and a rotation period of 25…30 years.
