They aim to maintain continuity of stand structure by preserving seed-producing and shelter trees at varying densities. Soil scarification techniques may be employed to support the natural regeneration of pine. Our study is based on data from seven study sites in the German lowlands, where the basal areas of the overstorey pine trees varied between 4 and 21 m2\/ha. The soil scarification methods ranged from full surface ploughing by tractor or horse through small-scale scarification by cultivators to sites without soil scarification. Differences in the densities, spatial distributions, age structures, and above-ground development of pine seedlings were evaluated. We analysed the spatial interactions between overstorey pine trees and the densities of naturally regenerated pine seedlings as a function of the microsite types using the multitype Strauss hard-core process (MSH) method. The results show a significant decrease in height growth with increasing stand density after a period of 5 years, with seedling density and spatial patterns strongly influenced by soil scarification. The MSH pairwise interaction analyses revealed significant negative effects on seedling densities based on combinations of microsites and overstorey trees.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/f13060817","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,24]],"date-time":"2022-05-24T22:04:06Z","timestamp":1653429846000},"page":"817","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Natural Regeneration of Scots Pine Requires the Application of Silvicultural Treatments such as Overstorey Density Regulation and Soil Preparation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4406-9184","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Franka","family":"Huth","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forest Sciences, Faculty of Environmental Sciences, Institute of Silviculture and Forest Protection, Chair of Silviculture, TU Dresden, 01737 Tharandt, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3832-0213","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexandra","family":"Wehnert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forest Sciences, Faculty of Environmental Sciences, Institute of Silviculture and Forest Protection, Chair of Silviculture, TU Dresden, 01737 Tharandt, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sven","family":"Wagner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forest Sciences, Faculty of Environmental Sciences, Institute of Silviculture and Forest Protection, Chair of Silviculture, TU Dresden, 01737 Tharandt, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"59","article-title":"Forest management of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) in northern Germany a brief review of the history and current trends","volume":"86","author":"Spathelf","year":"2015","journal-title":"Forstarchiv"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"16","DOI":"10.21825\/sg.v66i0.816","article-title":"Aspects of biodiversity of Scots pine forests in Europe","volume":"66","author":"Lust","year":"2001","journal-title":"Silva Gandav."},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"473","DOI":"10.1080\/02827580903418224","article-title":"Adaptive forest management in central Europe: Climate change impacts, strategies and integrative concept","volume":"24","author":"Bolte","year":"2009","journal-title":"Scand.
