4 4 1. Background Forests in Finland Round wood consumption since 1955 Use of wood for energy and goal of use by 2020
5 5 The world s forests Finland belongs mainly to the Boreal Forest Zone
6 6 Roundwood consumption in Finland by category of use, In , roundwood consumption for energy generation included also marginal quantities of industrial roundwood used in other consumption categories by e.g. small-sized dwellings, traffic and civil engineering. Sources: Finnish Forest Industries Federation; OSF: Finnish Forest Research Institute

9 9 Harvesting forest biomass is strongly increasing There are, however, open questions about the environmental effects, e.g. carbon flow, nutrients leaching to the groundwater and how to save site fertility
10 10 Perspective: Forest biomass harvesting in boreal forests needs more environmental research
11 11 2. Case Kivesvaara Kivesvaara research site is located in the middle of boreal forest zone in Finland Long-term ecological research since 1974 Extended 2007 to include the stump harvesting
12 12 Case Kivesvaara: Groundwater research in Hautala and Pahalouhi experimental sites Site preparation, soil and air temperature, nutrient leaching to surface water. Founded Site preparation. Nutrient leaching into the groundwater. Founded Cleaning the sapling stand. Founded 1984 Mounding, different tree species, nutrient leaching to surface water. Founded 1986 Direct seeding with different soil treatment methods 2002 Prescribed burning 2002 Lysimeters o 28'N, 27 o 33 E Stump removal
13 13 3. Results
14 14 The results are based on over samples, from each over 10 elements were analyzed since 1985
15 15 Leaching of nitrate nitrogen into groundwater: Hautala Waste wood left NO - N µg/l 3 Clearcutting, Cleacutting, waste wood not collected left Uncut Uncut control Cleacutting 1986 Waste wood left Clearcutting June 20, Year Waste wood harvested NO - N µg/l 3 Clearcutting, Cleacutting, waste wood collected harvested Uncut control Clearcutting June 20, Cleacutting 1986 Waste wood harvested Year

17 17 Natural regeneration was also included 2002 No felling Seed tree cutting, pine Groundwater well Spruce shelterwood
18 18 Leaching after natural regeneration is less compared with clearcutting NO 3 -N µg/l
19 19 4. New challenges and research
20 20 New research on stump harvesting in Metla (Finnish Forest Research Institute) Financed also by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry
21 21 Project title: Ecological and silvicultural impacts of stump removal and harvesting of logging residues
22 Researh group Reseach Project leader Eero Kubin, groundwater Professor, Dr Anne Tolvanen, plant succession Professor, Dr Hannu Ilvesniemi, carbon flow Senior scientist, Dr Eila Tillman-Sutela, seed and restocking Researcher, Dr Oili Tarvainen, mycorrhiza Senior scientist Dr Juha Piispanen, chemical analyses Assistant researher, MSc (For.) student, Tanja Murto, carbon flow, restocking Other staff Metsätalousinsinööri Jorma Pasanen Suunnittelija Ari Kokko Tutkimusavustaja Reijo Seppänen Muhoksen toimipaikan laboratoriohenkilökuntaa

24 24 Project objective New iformation for forestry practice and policy makers
25 25 Actions in Längelmäki stump harvesting study areas Uncut forest Clear cutting Harvesting of logging residue Stump removal
26 26 Preliminary results: nitrate in groundwater after stump harvesting Northern boreal zone NO 3 -N µg/l Southern boreal zone NO 3 -N µg/l
27 27 5. Conclusions
28 28 NO 3 -N cycle in the boreal forest. What are the effects of climate change and whole tree harvest with lifting stumps? Natural state Conventional cutting Whole tree harvesting N-cycle N-cycle N-cycle Deposition: Interception + + Leaching: Depends on site + + (?) Decomposition: Slow + + (?)
29 29 Conclusions Nitrogen leaching is increasing after cutting and harvesting. Maximum, however, in Kivesvaara study site is about 1 mg/l. EU limit value 50 mg/l. Re-vegetation and stocking have important role to minimize nitrogen leaching New technology has been developed for harvesting the stumps, but the environmental effects are still unknown Nitrogen cycle in changing environment and intensive biomass harvesting needs more research, especially long term monitoring
30 Groundwater monitoring in Hautala, Finland NO 3 - N µg/l Short monitoring 3 years Uncut control Waste not collected Clearcutting: June 20,
31 Groundwater monitoring in Hautala, Finland NO 3 - N µg/l 5 years monitoring Uncut control Waste not collected Clearcutting: June 20,
