Fertilization in Boreal and Temperate Forests and the Potential for Biomass Production

No table of content available

• Forest fertilization is one of the most efficient methods in forest management to increase the short-term production of biomass. In this context, this chapter provides a brief background of the physiological response of trees to fertilization and increased nutrient availability. Furthermore, we shall describe different fertilization regimes and demonstrate the potentials of fertilization in enhancing biomass production, which will be performed by presenting relevant literature and some unpublished results. This chapter will also elaborate on some ideas for developing fertilization in operational forestry.
