How much browsing pressure is too much for birch? PhD student Andis Zvirgzdins shares the latest news related to his research project focused on the establishment and management of planted and genetically improved birch in Sweden.
With the ”new generation” of birch gaining momentum in Sweden, the question of how browsing by game animals affects birch survival and growth remains vaguely understood. A combination of two ongoing studies in southern Sweden, covering more than 40 sites, aims to address these questions. A promising result has emerged: birch can survive and grow well under browsing pressure, but how much pressure is too much?
