In sustainable forest management, clearing is not only a measure to increase timber value – it is also a way to improve the functioning of the forest ecosystem. A well-cleared forest is more resilient to diseases, storms and climate change.
Controlling stand development through clearing can also influence which tree species dominate, which in turn is important for biodiversity, carbon storage and water balance. In addition, a cleared forest provides better conditions for future measures such as thinning and felling.
Clearing from a climate perspective:
- Increases growth = more carbon dioxide sequestered in trees
- Favors long-lived tree species with high timber potential
- Improves accessibility for forest management and firefighting
- Reducing the risk of storm damage that releases carbon dioxide
