Siemenpuita
Siemenpuita is a Finnish term that translates to "seed trees" or "mother trees." It refers to the practice of leaving mature, healthy trees standing in a forest after harvesting to provide a source of seeds for natural regeneration. This method is a key component of sustainable forestry, particularly in boreal forest ecosystems where natural regeneration is a significant factor in forest renewal.
The concept behind siemenpuita is to harness the natural resilience and reproductive capabilities of the forest.
The implementation of the siemenpuita system often involves careful planning during the harvesting phase. Loggers identify
