Migration of vascular plants to secondary woodlands in southern Sweden
Brunet, Jörg; von Oheimb, GoddertAbstract
6 Establishment of a field layer vegetation in secondary woods comparable to that of the adjacent ancient stands proceeded at a rate of c. 0.3-0.5 m year-(1). We conclude that scale and intensity of temperate forest management should be adjusted to the relatively slow migration of the field layer flora in order to enable complete recovery during a management cycle.Keywords
