摘要：Scots pine is a characteristic tree species of the lowlands in northern Germany. In
the last two decades Scots pine has been labelled an outdated species because of its
production potential and expected yield. However, the ability of Scots pine to
ecologically adapt to the anticipated climate changes will ensure it a notable place
in forests in the future. To improve site selection for Scots pine plantations, the
ecogramme needs to be developed further to account for climate by incorporating
climatic water balance. In future, Scots pine stands should be regenerated only
naturally as a rule. Guidance is given to assist decisions about underplanting other
tree species in Scots pine stands. To ensure stand productivity, the importance of a
staggered thinning regime, comprising a heavy thinning in the early growth phase
followed by thinning operations declining in intensity in accordance with results
from study sites and simulations, is presented. An initial future crop tree number
of 150 to 250 will help reduce the production risks and increase the production
value. In view of bottlenecks in the supply of Scots pine industrial wood, opportunities
and limitations of utilising the whole tree are shown.
