Policy Brief: Continuous cover forestry in northern boreal forests : opportunities and challenges

It is important to understand the opportunities and challenges of continuous cover forestry (CCF). There is an urgent need for information on the effects of different continuous cover forestry methods. The many CCF-related knowledge gaps must be addressed in order to enable appropriate advice to be given to forest owners and stakeholders on when (and where) to apply CCF or rotation forestry. Further research is needed in various CCF-related topics in Fennoscandia in the coming years.
