Imprints of management history on hemiboreal forest ecosystems in the Baltic States

Abstract: In the Baltic States region, anthropogenic disturbances at different temporal and spatial scales mostly determine dynamics and development phases of forest ecosystems. We reviewed the state and condition of hemiboreal forests of the Baltic States region and analyzed species composition of recently established and permanent forest (PF). Agricultural deforestation and spontaneous or artificial conversion back to forest is a scenario leading to ecosystems designated as recent forest (RF, age up to two hundred yea… Show more

“…From spring 2013 until autumn of the same year, an inventory was carried out to cover the study area with tree mapping data. To avoid potentially disruptive extensive measurements on fragile sites and close to habitats under protection, two methodologies were followed: whole surface inventory (in sub-compartments 6,9,10,11,12,13,14,15) and partial surface mapping based on permanent sample plots (in sub-compartments 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8). The whole surface mapping covered 9.34 ha, and the partial mapping covered 10.03 ha.…”

“…The H-D relationship is largely species-specific and depends on the stands' structural features [9,10], the stand development history [11,12] and the prevailing disturbance regime [9,12]. The H-D relationship could be studied at the stand or individual tree level.…”

“…Thus, understanding the dynamics of a tree community following a disturbance requires knowledge of the responses of individual tree species’ traits and how they interact within the local forest community [ 17 ]. The life history traits and strategies of individual species are intrinsically related to forest disturbances and account for the interaction among the patterns of species distribution [ 66 ]. This offers new ways to test the efficacy of specific interventions by modifying disturbance-related changes in dynamic forest communities [ 7 , 32 , 45 ].…”

“…For instance, natural oak, ash, and lime forests have become rarer due to both the past and current forest management objectives as well as altered hydrology. Over the past century, Lithuanian forestry has been juxtaposed between two contrasting approaches to forest management: German influence that favored artificial regeneration, and Russian reliance on natural regeneration after timber harvest [ 66 ]. Since regaining independence in 1991, Lithuanian forestry has turned into a timber production industry by employing silvicultural practices to generate sustained high yield wood production [ 40 ].…”

“…Human impact played a major role in the dramatic decrease of broadleaved forests in Latvia during the previous 300 years and influenced the current situation through management legacies (Jõgiste et al 2018). Despite widespread harvesting of Q. robur timber for ship building in 17 th century, significant areas of Q. robur stands were present in Western Latvia during the first half of the 19 th century (Zunde 1999).…”
