Mixed species broadleaved and broadleaved/conifer stands in Great Britain for timber production
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Using mixed species stands of broadleaves and of broadleaves and conifers, where broadleaves are the final crop, can be a desirable management option. This can increase overall yield, financial return, improve the quality of timber and increase resilience to damaging abiotic and biotic agents. There are few formal trials of such stands, but there is knowledge of how these can be established and managed, developed through the experiences of forest managers and landowners. This article presents a literature review of mixed stands containing broadleaves, focusing on practice in Great Britain.
