Damage by wildlife, especially small rodents, to North American Pinuscontorta provenances introduced into Sweden
In 20 provenance trials with the North American Pinuscontorta Dougl. introduced into Sweden, 6 were severely damaged by voles, especially Microtusagrestis L., 2 by moose (Alcesalces L.), and 2 by roe deer (Capreoluscapreolus L.). Six trials were abandoned earlier partly because of roe deer damage an...
