@wood5y Really good read, though I remain convinced that human influence is the dominant factor in Iceland's #biodiversity loss...
...& as a #forester, believe #UKFS approved #silviculture will lead to similar #soil loss on fragile upland sites, albeit over longer timescale

#ThickTrunkTuesday #Mosstodon #Trees #MoistTemperateRainforest #AtlanticOakwood
A venerable #Scottish oak, growing by a deep, burn-cut gorge. Relic of actual managed #Pollard #Silviculture or happenstance, an expression of natural growth form? Heavily scarred and rotten at the root collar, totally covered in moss, ferns and worts; but still vigorous. #Biodiversity -
No more #clearcutting in #Dutch #forests https://www.fern.org/publications-insight/clear-cutting-in-dutch-forests-is-no-longer-allowed/
Received wisdom in #Silviculture is that #Clearfell or #Clearcut coupes mimic nature in #fireclimax habitats. While I agree clearcut / restock can be brutal & we are heavily over-reliant on the system, it seems 'bold' to outlaw it entirely, regardless of scale. Surely local production and 'better' rather than 'less' silviculture would provide #timber for less #carbon intensive #building solutions

@mustapipa even better if the reforestation efforts are well thought through in terms of species and within species diversity seeded or planted (planted seedlings are less drought resistant than seedlings that had grown from seeds in situ) : nearly one in three tree species are on the IUCN redlist, #reforestation would be a chance to get these locally out of the redlist.
