Abstract

Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) regeneration is a long and complex process in which genetic, physiological, ecological and silvicultural factors are very important. In this paper, a deep study of the processes chain that starts with the initiation of flowers and ends with seedlings settlement is made. The discussion about intraspecific and interspecific competence, initial density and grazing is specially interesting for forest management. The main fields of research are gene dispersion studies, development of production oriented management diagrams and simulation models of regeneration processes. Theoretical work must be complemented with financial analysis of young stands cleaning regimes.
