Abstract

A process-based ecosystem model was applied to analyse the effects of climate change and management on timber yield over a forest management unit in Finland (63° N). The total area of the unit was ca. 1450ha, with 1018 separate tree stands representing the boreal conditions. A representative sample of 42 stands was selected for simulations of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris), Norway spruce (Picea abies) and silver birch (Betula pendula) dominated stands of various ages and sites. The results of the simulations under the current climate and two climate change scenarios together with six management regimes (five thinning regimes and one unthinned) were extrapolated over the whole unit.
