A Comparison of Mounding and Inverting to Establish Norway Spruce on Podzolic Soils in Sweden

Hallsby, G. and Orlander, G. Forestry 77(2). 2004.

The study comprised 12 semi-practical field trials on 1-2-year-old clearcuts distributed from 57 to 65° Non podzolic soils. The objective of the study was to evaluate if inverting site preparation should be recommended as an alternative to mounding when both regeneration results and environmental effects were considered. five growing seasons after planting with Norway spruce (Picea abies L Karst.) stock, improved seedling survival was found following inverting (78 per cent) compared with mounding (65 per cent) and unscarified controls (57 per cent).
