>Many people think it looks strange when tall stumps are left behind after felling. It is the rules in the PEFC certification that influence whether they are left behind. There are bird species, e.g. the pileated crow, which is entirely dependent on insects that feed on standing dead wood. In order for the ecosystem to function after a felling, PEFC requires that at least three tall stumps per hectare be left behind during a felling.
They are cut like that to support biological diversity. Certain beetles thrive in these tall stumps, for example.
Undrar hur många decennium det tar innan vi tittar tillbaka på dagens skogsbruk som något idiotiskt.
There are different stumps. The tall ones (högstubbar) are for biological reasons. The short ones are “kulturstubbar” (culture stumps) are left around places where there is cultural interest, such as graves or other remnants of ancient civilization.

Omg that looks cold. So much snow
”Miljömuppar” we chop them up for fire wood after the harvester has left
It’s cheaper.
Instead of COMPLETELY destroying habitats and ecosystems we just destroy 90% nowadays. Thats called nature preservation or something like that idk.
