Moose Browsing on Scots Pine in Relation to Stand Size and Distance to Forest Edge

Andren, Henrik; Angelstam, Per

Abstract

5. Our study suggests that stand size will be of little importance as a management tool for reducing browsing pressure on pine by moose. However, management can influence the densities of young Scots pine. Browsing was reduced when the density of young trees exceeded about 1500 and 2500 ha-1 in the north and south respectively.
