SNS-EFINORD
Network of
long-term CCF experiments
in Northern Europe
The aim of the network for 2014 is to collect and to analyze data on seedling density, height growth and mortality rates of natural regeneration under various gap and shelter conditions as observed in the experiments during a five-year period or more - in order to write a scientific article.

CCF Terminology
There are differences between the countries
The website and two publications in English below maybe helpful here (if not more confusing... :-)

Services
Sept 23-24 will be a workshop in Umeå on natural regeneration as observed in long-term CCF experiments in Northern Europe. Please, contact Lars Drössler in case you are interedtes to participate!
Apply for the work-shop in September
We are an open network of researchers and work with CCF experiments to analyze data on more regional scale, not only locally. We are most interested in repeated observations of forest growth and regeneration. In addition, recorded storm damages, timber quality, income possibilities and other ecosystem services are our research focus.
Would you like to join the network?
Are you a PhD student in the field of Forest management or biology?
In that case, a PhD course on natural regeneration and Continuous cover forestry in September may be an good opportunity to ask experts from different countries about the alternatives to clearfelling.
