This open access book compiles the latest research on continuous cover forestry in boreal forests, highlighting both the need for additional information and the exciting possibilities that this method presents. Experts in the field explore topics such as forest regeneration, genetic effects, wood production and yield, wood harvesting, forest damage agents, biodiversity, water effects, carbon cycles of forests, economics, forest planning methods, multiple uses of forests, and forest owners' attitudes.
As the world faces increasing pressure to balance the multiple goals of forest management, including raw material production, carbon sequestration, biodiversity, and climate change adaptation, it is becoming clear that different forest management methods are required. Even-aged forest management is well-researched, but continuous forest management is a newer and rapidly evolving approach that is gaining popularity in boreal forests.
While an overall synthesis of the subject is not yet possible, this book provides an essential foundation for understanding the current state of continuous cover forestry in boreal forests. With the new research data being accumulated all the time, this book is an invaluable resource for researchers, policymakers, and forest managers who want to stay up-to-date on this important topic.

About the Author
Pasi Rautio currently works as a research professor in silviculture at Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke). His expertise is in silviculture as well as in forest and environmental ecology. His roles involve forest monitoring and studies on forest regeneration and forest management methods in areas that are facing pressures of other land uses, such as tourism, recreation and reindeer herding. Pasi is the coordinator for ArcticHubs, a H2020 project investigating solutions to Arctic land use conflicts and long-term sustainability of the region. His previous work at the University of Oulu in Finland and Stockholm University in Sweden has concerned issues like biodiversity and restoration of seminatural pastures; evolutionary ecology of plant-animal interactions and air pollution effects on forest ecosystems. He also worked as a forest policy officer in the European Commission (DG Environment). He is a member of UNECE Team of Specialists on Boreal Forests and Programme Co-ordinating Group of UNECE ICP Forests.
Johanna Routa works as a research manager in Profitable and responsible primary production research programme at Luke. She is a docent of Sustainable forest biomass production and quality management at the University of Eastern Finland. Her expertise is in sustainable forest biomass production, biomass supply chains, costs of different management practices and the quality management of forest biomass. She has experience in research leadership and bioenergy R&D with companies and other stakeholders. Johanna is the coordinator of H2020 project BRANCHES (Boosting Rural bioeconomy Networks following multi-actors approaches) which aims to increase the implementation of new technologies in bioeconomy. She is member of the IEA bioenergy group.
Dr. Saija Huuskonen is a senior scientist at Luke and a docent of silviculture at the University of Helsinki. Her core expertise lies in forest management and silvicultural practices, focusing on their impact on wood production and sustainable forest use. She is involved in the developing the forest management decision support system, Motti. Saija leads mixed forests projects, which evaluate mixed forests from various perspectives, including ecosystem services, forest management, forest resources, risk management, and growth dynamics. She also established new long-term mixed forest field experiments to create new research infrastructure. She is a member of national forest management committees and deputy coordinator at IUFRO 1.01.01 Boreal Forest Silviculture and Management division. Dr. Huuskonen has contributed to dissemination efforts through peer-reviewed articles, textbooks, reports, and speaking engagements. Her diverse knowledge and experience in silviculture in the Nordic boreal region spans research, teaching, and practical applications.
Emma Holmström is an associate professor in silviculture at SLU. Her research spans over forest management for production, forest conservation and multiuse purposes. She studies forest experiments and monitoring data from the Swedish national forest inventory, aiming for results useful for both the applied forestry and the theoretical framework of modelling growth and yield. She has a special interest in silviculture of mixed forest and of the broadleaved tree species in northern Europe. In recent year she has established several long-term experiments and projects investigating how climate change induced droughts might be mitigated by forest management in pine and spruce. Emma is the coordinator of the interdisciplinary platform Future Forests since 2021, which is a research infrastructure used for developing knowledge on CCF both in past program periods and in the current.
Jonas Cedergren is a research officer working for the Swedish Forest Research Institute. His area of expertise is the zone between silviculture and harvesting system and methods. He has conducted practical studies in Sweden and Malaysia. Focus has been on response of the residual stand to partial harvests, and the implications of logging damage. Mr. Cedergren has worked for more than a decade with selective logging operations in Malaysia. There he conducted experiments on felling damage, established a large-scale and long-term growth and yield study, and developed a prototype logging system for peat swamp forest. He coordinated a major Swedish project on closed canopy forest management methods in Sweden. He has worked extensively the FAO Global Forest Resource Assessment. Finally he has worked a decade at the FAO as a specialist officer in forest technology, with a focus on occupational safety and health.
Christian Kuehne currently works as a researcher in forest management at the Norwegian Institute for Bioeconomy Research (NIBIO) in Ås, Norway. He lectured silviculture and forest restoration at the University of Freiburg, Germany and forest mensuration at the University of Maine, USA. His studies examine the effects of manipulating forest structure through silvicultural interventions on stand dynamics such as regeneration establishment and growth response in residual trees. He has expertise in forest growth and yield modeling and also studied challenges and limitations of the close-to-nature forest management paradigm in Central Europe.

-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
In order to exercise your revocation right, you must inform us (Moluna GmbH, Engberdingdamm 27, 48268 Greven, Telephone number: 02571/5 69 89 33, Fax number: 02571/5 69 89 30, E-Mail address: abe@moluna.de) of your decision to revoke this contract by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent via post, fax or email). You can use the enclosed specimen revocation form for this, which however is not mandatory.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.

Standard Business Terms and customer information / data protection declaration
I. Standard business terms
§ 1 Basic provisions
(1) The following terms and conditions of business apply for all contracts concluded with us as the supplier (Moluna GmbH) via the websites AbeBooks and/or ZVAB. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of your own terms and conditions is explicitly rejected.
(2) A ‘consumer’ in the sense of the following regulations is every natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities. The term ‘businessman’ refers to every natural person, legal person or legally responsible partnership that concludes a legal transaction in pursuance of his/its independent professional or commercial activity.
§ 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The subject-matter of the contract is the selling of products .
(2) If an article is placed by us with AbeBooks or ZVAB, the activation of the page on AbeBooks or ZVAB shall involve the binding offer to conclude a contract under the terms and conditions contained in the article page.
(3) The contract shall become effective via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The products intended for purchase are moved to the "shopping cart". You can select the "Shopping Cart" using the appropriate buttons on the navigation bar and make changes there at any time.
After calling up the “Checkout” page and entering the required personal data and payment and shipping conditions, all order information is then displayed again on the order summary page.
Before submitting the order, you have the ability once more to review or change any information here (you may also use the "back" button on the Internet browser), or to cancel the purchase.
By clicking the “Buy now” button to submit the order, you declare your legally binding acceptance of the order which makes the contract effective.
(4) The execution of the order and the sending of all the details necessitated by the conclusion of the contract take place via e-mail, in a partially-automated manner. Consequently, you have to ensure that the e-mail address that you have deposited with us is the correct one, and that the receipt of the respective e-mails is guaranteed. In particular, you have to ensure that the respective e-mails are not blocked by a SPAM filter.
§ 3 Right of retention, reservation of proprietary rights
(1) You can only exercise a right of retention if the situation in question involves claims arising from the same contractual relationship.
(2) The goods remain our property until the purchase price is paid in full.
(3) If you are a businessman, the following conditions also apply:
a) We retain ownership of the goods until all the claims arising from the ongoing business relationship have been settled in full. The goods subject to retention of title may not be pledged or transferred by way of security before ownership of the said goods changes hands.
b) You can re-sell the goods within the framework of an orderly transaction. In this regard, you hereby cede all the claims amounting to the magnitude of the billing amount that accrue to you as a result of the re-selling operation to us, and we accept the cession. Furthermore, you are authorised to collect the claim in question. However, insofar as you do not discharge your payment obligations in an orderly fashion, we reserve the right to collect the claim ourselves.
c) In a situation involving the combination and amalgamation of the goods subject to retention of title, we acquire co-ownership of the newly-formed item. This co-ownership corresponds to the ratio that exists between the invoice value of the goods subject to retention of title and the other processed items at the time of processing.
d) If you make a request of this nature, we shall be obligated to release the securities that are due to us, to the extent that the realisable value of our securities exceeds the claim to be secured by more than 10%. We are responsible for selecting the securities to be released.
§ 4 Warranty
(1) The statutory warranty rights are applicable.
(2) As a consumer, you are requested to promptly check the product for completeness, visible defects and transport damage as soon as it is delivered, and promptly disclose your complaints to us and the shipping company in writing. Even if you do not comply with this request, it shall have no effect on your legal warranty claims.
(3) If a characteristic of the goods deviates from the objective requirements, the deviation shall only be deemed to be agreed if you were informed of the same by us before submitting the contractual declaration and the deviation was expressly and separately agreed between the contracting parties.
(4)
Insofar as you are an entrepreneur, the following shall apply in deviation from the above warranty provisions:
a) Only our own specifications and the manufacturer's product description shall be deemed agreed as the quality of the goods, but not other advertising, public promotions and statements by the manufacturer.
b) In the event of defects, we shall, at our discretion, provide warranty by rectification of the defect or subsequent delivery. If the rectification of defects fails, you may, at your option, demand a reduction in price or withdraw from the contract. The rectification of defects shall be deemed to have failed after a second unsuccessful attempt, unless the nature of the goods or the defect or other circumstances indicate otherwise. In the event of rectification of defects, we shall not be obliged to bear the increased costs arising from the transport of the goods to a place other than the place of performance, unless such transport is in accordance with the intended use of the goods.
c) The warranty period shall be one year from delivery of the goods. The shortening of the period shall not apply
- for culpable damage attributable to us arising from injury to life, limb or health and for other damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence;
- insofar as we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have assumed a guarantee for the quality of the item;
- in the case of items which have been used for a building in accordance with their customary use and have caused its defectiveness;
- in the case of statutory rights of recourse that you may assert against us in connection with rights arising from defects.
§ 5 Choice of law, place of fulfilment, jurisdiction
(1) German law shall apply. This choice of law only applies to customers if it does not result in the revocation of the protection guaranteed by the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the respective customer’s usual place of residence is located (benefit-of-the-doubt principle).
(2) If you are not a consumer, but a businessman, a legal entity under public law or an institutional fund governed by public law, our place of business is the place of jurisdiction as well as the place of fulfilment for all services that follow from the business relationships that exist with us. The same condition applies to situations in which you are not associated with a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU, as well as situations in which the place of residence or the usual place of residence is not known at the time of commencement of proceedings. This has no bearing on the capacity to call upon the court associated with another place of jurisdiction.
(3) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods are explicitly inapplicable.
