Abstract:
... Harvesting of stumps and logging residues for bioenergy can be expected to increase in the future. An increased biomass export from the forest will increase the biological acidification, measured as net cation (cations–anions) export. The aim of this study is to estimate the acidifying effect that various levels of harvesting of tree stumps and logging residues will have in Sweden, and compare thi ...

Abstract:
... The long-term effect of slash and stump harvesting on carbon (C) stocks in soil, tree biomass, and total ecosystem were studied in four field experiments that commenced in 1980–1982 along a climatic gradient from north to south Sweden. The treatments consisted of complete tree harvesting, i.e., harvesting of slash, stumps, and stems (SSS); harvesting of stumps and stems, but leaving logging residu ...

3. Ecological traps and habitat loss, stump extraction and its effects on saproxylic beetles

Subject:
Coleoptera; Picea abies; bark; dead wood; fauna; habitat destruction; habitats; insect traps; population dynamics; progeny; sieving; stumps
Abstract:
... Stump storage piles created at stump extraction are stored next to the extraction clear-cuts for 2years. These storage piles may become a trap for saproxylic insects (dependent on dead wood) if they attract many breeding individuals, whose offspring are killed at biofuel processing. Stumps in clear-cuts are also an important habitat for many species and these species could be negatively affected b ...

Abstract:
... The increasing demand for solid biofuels, such as logging residue fuels, has highlighted the importance of considering that, in contrast to fossil fuels, biofuels are produced in dynamic ecosystems. The environmental effects of changes in management policy, whether positive and negative, are not obvious. For example, calculations of the carbon budget in single forest stands show that the carbon ba ...

Abstract:
... Forest harvesting operations have been reported to increase the levels of both total mercury (THg) and methylmercury (MeHg) in runoff water and downstream biota. Mobilization of such harmful substances by logging may pose ecological risks that may be influenced further by site preparation and stump harvest. Stump harvest is currently being explored as a method to increase the supply of biofuels. I ...

Abstract:
... The objective of this study was to evaluate the concentrations of nutrients in stumps and coarse roots in Norway spruce, Scots pine and silver birch in Sweden, Finland and Denmark, and to assess how nutrient concentrations vary with site characteristics, stand age and root size. Concentrations of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and sodium (Na) in spruce, p ...

Abstract:
... In southern Finland, large-scale stump harvesting from regeneration areas began in the early 2000s. At that time, stump harvesting and additional soil scarification for planting was performed simultaneously. The aim of this study was to investigate the regeneration result, particularly the outcome of the natural regeneration of birch after stump harvesting, compared to the result achieved on a con ...

Abstract:
... An increasing demand for bioenergy has stimulated interest in harvesting of tree stumps after felling operations. To reduce the amount of soil disturbance, it is recommended to retain stumps in wet areas. We wanted to evaluate if that strategy is beneficial also for saproxylic (wood-living) insects, which will have less habitat to breed in at stump harvest, and therefore also need mitigation. We t ...

Abstract:
... Heterobasidion annosum sensu lato (s.l.), Armillaria ostoyae, and Phellinus sulphurascens are economically important fungal pathogens in temperate forests of the northern hemisphere that cause decay, growth reduction and tree mortality of coniferous hosts. Fungal inoculum residing in roots and stumps after final felling can remain viable for decades and place stands at an increased risk of mortali ...

Abstract:
... Tree stumps are a potential bioenergy resource to replace fossil fuels and meet the targets for reduced CO2 emissions. However, the effects of stump harvesting on wood-dependent organisms are poorly known. This study assessed the abundances of macroarthropods, especially non-coleopteran groups, in wood, bark and ‘periphery’ of stumps in comparison with soil to evaluate which species/taxa prefer st ...
