The best decisions are those that take the biological and economical aspects of a silviculture problem equally into consideration and provide solution that are satisfactory from both\u00a0\u00a0 a biological and economic point\u00a0\u00a0 of view- and also not least from a practical point of view.<\/p>\n<p>Thinning and pruning treatment are silviculture treatments which maintain the need for adequate light intensity by relieving competition among residual individual in the stands and accelerating their growth.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone
