Boreal forest is the Earth’s largest terrestrial carbon storehouse, but in Sweden industrial forestry has converted most of the productive forests to young, even aged monocultures by using clearcutting and plantation. These ”teenage forests” hold much less carbon than natural forests. To secure well-functioning forests under a changing climate, and reverse patterns of ecological degradation of boreal forests rewilding of the boreal forest ecosystems and development of closer-to-nature forestry methods are urgently needed.
