Short term effects of clear cutting on the regeneration of sub-arctic birch forest following severe outbreaks by geometrid moths

Here I test whether systematic clear cutting can accelerate the forest regeneration after outbreaks with uncut control plots as comparison. Basal shoot abundance was used as a main indicator for recovery but comprehensive data sampling also included the abundance of ...
