Sweden forests with 120 million m3 more hardwoods than 25 years ago
Hardwood volumes in Southern Sweden have went up by approximately 3 million m3 per year, since 1993, making it 120 million more hardwoods in Götaland now than 25 years ago. The forest regeneration now has more hardwood and pine than ever before, which will create a more varied forest structure. With the introduction of production forestry in the 1940s, the proportion of spruce increased, and by the mid-1990s, more than every second tree in Götaland was a spruce. 25 years later, the proportion of spruce in southern Swedish forests has fallen in relation to hardwood, while the proportion of pine has remained virtually unchanged. The most recent National Forest Inventory shows that spruce has fallen from 53 to about 48 percent of the growing stock, while the proportion of hardwood has risen from about 18 to 23%. This trend means that we now have about 120 million more... Continue reading
