Biological legacies buffer local species extinction after logging
TL;DR: It was found that living and dead trees retained after final harvest acted as refugia in which logging‐sensitive species were able to survive for 3 to 7 years after logging, and highlighted the need for more before–after control‐impact studies of retention forestry to explore factors influencing the survival of species after logging.

Effects on ground vegetation of the application of wood ash to a Swedish Scots pine stand
Staffan Jacobson,Lena Gustafsson +1 more
TL;DR: The results from this study highlight the need for legal restrictions on the chemical and physical properties of wood ash recycled within forest systems, in order to avoid a negative impact on ground flora.

Lena Gustafsson,Leif Appelgren,Fredrik Jonsson,Ulrika Nordin,Anette Anette Persson,Jan-Olov Weslien +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the first detailed survey (10 m × 10 m resolution) of nationally red-listed bryophytes and lichens at stand level in boreal forests.

Plant conservation aspects of energy forestry - a new type of land use in Sweden.
TL;DR: The flora and vegetation of energy forests is dominated by common ruderal species like Cirsium arvense, Galeopsis tetrahit and Urtica dioica as mentioned in this paper.

Bryophytes and lichens in different types of forest set-asides in boreal Sweden
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the biodiversity value per unit area of three types of set-asides, common in boreal Europe: nature reserves, key habitats and retention groups on clear-cuts, and also included old managed forests as reference sites.
