Lodgepole Pine Plantations and Clear Cut in Sweden
After clearcutting, it is common for forestry companies in Sweden to plant lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta), a non-native tree species. 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.
