Tiivistelmä
The workshop took place at Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke), Suonenjoki Research Unit
November 25 – 26, 2015. Workshop was arranged as a joint arrangement between Luke and Latvian
State Forest Research Institute "Silava" and the main sponsor was Nordic Forest Research (SNS) /
Operating Systems for Centre of Advanced Research (OSCAR2, 2011-2015). This OSCAR Workshop
was also promoted by IUFRO Research Group 3.02.00 Stand establishment and treatment. Altogether
28 participants from Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania and Sweden participated in the workshop.
The objective of the workshop was to present ongoing research concerning mechanized silviculture
in Nordic and Baltic countries and to discuss future research needs. State of art reports about
mechanized silviculture from Sweden and Finland were presented and discussed. In the Swedish
review, inverting; interface from nursery to planting machine; feeding of seedlings in planting device;
identification of plantings spots and obstacles as well as planting device development without compactation
were covered. In the Finnish part, mechanized planting and mechanized young stand management
were discussed. Finally, the differences between the Swedish and Finnish Scots pine management
cultures were discussed.
The ongoing research projects concerning forest regeneration, drainage and management of
young stands in Baltic countries were presented and discussed. The overview about the management
of Latvia’s state forests started the session following the state of the art review of the ongoing research
activities in mechanization of silviculture in Latvia. Next, the work productivity of wood ash
forest fertilization was discovered. Forest regeneration and young stand management in Estonia
followed. In conclusion, SeedPAD, as a new and efficient Scots pine regeneration method in Northern
Sweden, was viewed.
New ways of young stand management were presented and discussed. At first, the productivity
of Vimek harvester and forwarder were scrutinized. Next, Fixteri FX15a small-tree bundlers work
processes and productivity in early pine dominated thinnings were considered following an overview
of the evolution of innovative systems for small diameter tree harvest in Sweden. In the end, biocontrol
methods against hardwood sprouting using Chondrostereum purpureum were covered.
In the workshop the need for further Nordic-Baltic co-operation was strongly emphasized. Cooperation
in research activities as well as in dissemination of new research findings and in deployment
of new innovation were widely discussed. Workshop included also a short field excursion
where the PCT operation with “Tehojätkä” (Usewood Forest Master) and young stands treated with
Naarva uprooter were demonstrated.
