A viable understorey of Norway spruce often develops under a nurse crop on nutrientrich
peatlands drained for forestry. The impact of birch nurse crop density and height
equalization of the Norway spruce understorey on the height growth of spruce seedlings
was studied on three sites: on a transforming herbrich spruce swamp, an abandoned
peat field and a mixed peat/mineral soil field. The nurse crop was managed in
1990: 1) no thinning, 4000 stems ha-1, 2) thinning to 1000 stems ha-1. 3) thinning to
500 stems ha-1, or 4) removal of the nurse crop. In addition, the spruce seedlings over
1 m in height were removed from randomized halves of each plot. The unmanaged
nurse crop reduced the growth of the understorey the most on all the sites. On the other
hand, the spruce seedlings grew the best on the plots where the nurse crop had been
removed. Due to height equalization the growth of the spruce understorey first slowed
down, but towards the end of the study period the height growth of the equalized and
non-equalized spruce understoreys were almost the same.

A natural understorey of Norway spruce often develops under birch on oligo-mesotrophic
peatlands, but spruce can also be planted on these sites. The effects of fertilization and
the density of the pubescent birch nurse crop on the height growth and needle nutrient
status of a planted spruce understorey on an old drained herb-rich sedge pine fen was
investigated in this study. The spruce transplants were planted early in the 1960’s. The
nurse crop was removed, thinned to 200 stems ha-1 or left unmanaged in 1988. A number
of plots were also fertilized. The height growth of the spruce transplants was measured
during two periods after management, and the needle nutrient concentrations were
determined before fertilization and again 10 years later. The height growth of the spruce
was 40 - 60% greater after removal of the nurse crop than that under the unthinned
nurse crop. Even the thinned nurse crop slowed down the growth of the understorey.
However, height growth was the best on the plots on which the nurse crop was removed
and the plots fertilized.
