摘要

In green tree retention (GTR) felling, patches of initial forest are preserved in order to maintainsome of the initial biological diversity over the long forest regeneration phase. However, thepatches are often prone to tree uprooting and other edge-effects. This study from SouthernFinland examines the effects of GTR felling to understorey vegetation in GTR patches, whichwere around 10 times larger than in the current practice. The patches were located on biologi-cally rich swamped spruce forest on the basis of preceding biotope mapping. Understorey vege-tation coverage and its' species numbers were measured from systematically located (accordingto distance from the patch edge and to cardinal point) permanent study plots during one pre-treatment year and two post-treatment years. One year after the felling, coverage of vascularplants increased in the GTR patches, while coverage of bryophytes decreased, respectively. Ingeneral, coverage of vascular plant species decreased slightly towards to the centre of the patch,while coverage of bryophytes increased, respectively. Two years after the felling, coverage ofmosses in the southern side of the patches had declined on lower level if compared to the north-ern side. Species number of vascular plant species remained constant, but species number ofbryophytes decreased significantly during the study period. In general, species number of bryo-phytes was slightly higher in the edges than in the centre of the patches, while number of vascu-lar plants increased towards the interior and then steeply declined in the very centre of thepatches. The results show that even in relatively large GTR patches, abundance of forest interiorspecies (mainly bryophytes) reduces significantly after felling. This is probably due to the mac-roclimatic edge-effects from the felling area, which increased when high amount of uprootingswas formed due to the strong wind events in the patches during the study period. Size and loca-tion of GTR patches should be considered carefully according to the local respective manage-ment objectives in order to better preserve the initial vegetation.
