| description | The effects of plantation characteristics on moose () browsing intensity was studied in 82 Scots pine ( L.) plantations in Southern Finland. Moose browsing occurred most commonly in plantations established on relatively fertile soil, and the degree of damage was at highest in plantations with openings. A high amount of brush, especially aspen, increased the risk of damage. Furthermore, damage was intensified in plantations situated on hills, slopes or at a long distance from main roads or settlements.Alces alcesPinus sylvestris |
