Lodgepole pine monoculture is a threat to biodiversity in Swedish boreal forest, as the plantations replace the natural forests that once covered the landscape.Furthermore, plantations of this non-native species jeopardises the indigenous Sami’s livelihoods, as it decreases access to natural grazing areas for their reindeer.Locations:Europe-Nordic Countries-SwedenDate:6 Sep, 2017Credit:© Christian Åslund / GreenpeaceMaximum size:7282px X 4860pxKeywords:Boreal forests-Day-Forest degradation-Forests (campaign title)-Forests (topography)-Full frame-Great Northern Forest (campaign title)-KWCI (GPI)-Outdoors-Timber industry-TreesShoot:Lodgepole Pine and Clear Cut Documentation in SwedenDocumentation of Lodgepole pine plantations and clear cuts.Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) monoculture is a threat to biodiversity in Swedish boreal forest, as the plantations replace the natural forests that once covered the landscape.Related Collections:Great Northern Forest – Beauty and Destruction in Northern Sweden (Photos & Videos)
