Soil scarification is commonly used in Scandinavia in order to produce successful regenerations of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), especially in areas with risk of browsing damage by moose (Alces alces L.). The research presented in this paper provides knowledge on how increased intensity of soil scarification affects the regeneration of pine and birch (Betula spp. L.). A total of 67 stands were treated with different intensities of soil scarification. Tree seedling density and current annual growth (CAG) were measured one to five years after scarification. Results showed that the density of pine and birch seedlings increased with soil scarification intensity. CAG of pine decreased with scarification intensity. CAG of downy birch decreased with proportion of exposed mineral soil, but increased with proportion of exposed humus. The effect of soil scarification intensity on CAG of both tree species was relatively weak. Results suggest that although increased scarification intensity had a positive effect on seedling establishment, the effect on early growth may be unfavourable. Further research is needed in order to evaluate the long-term effects of soil scarification intensity on growth.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/f9050262","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,11]],"date-time":"2018-05-11T03:42:48Z","timestamp":1526010168000},"page":"262","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Effects of Increased Soil Scarification Intensity on Natural Regeneration of Scots Pine Pinus sylvestris L. and Birch Betula spp. L."],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Mona","family":"Saursaunet","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forestry and Wildlife Management, Faculty of Applied Ecology, Agricultural Sciences and Biotechnology, Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences, Pb 400, 2418 Elverum, Norway"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5166-8009","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karen Marie","family":"Mathisen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forestry and Wildlife Management, Faculty of Applied Ecology, Agricultural Sciences and Biotechnology, Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences, Pb 400, 2418 Elverum, Norway"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christina","family":"Skarpe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forestry and Wildlife Management, Faculty of Applied Ecology, Agricultural Sciences and Biotechnology, Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences, Pb 400, 2418 Elverum, Norway"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"213","article-title":"Moose and vegetation interactions in northwestern Europe and Poland","volume":"1","author":"Hjeljord","year":"1987","journal-title":"Swed.
