Today the emphasis in forest drainage in Finland is on the maintenance of old ditch networks. In connection with these maintaining activities all silvicultural cuttings should also be carried out, because on most old drained peatlands, thinnings are often badly neglected. The aim of this investigation was to determine the need and present extent of silvicultural cuttings in the area of the Satakunta forestry board, in southwest Finland. The main results were that only half the necessary cuttings had been carried out in connection with ditch maintenance.
Keywords: Peatlands, cuttings, ditch cleaning

The early development of peat stratigraphical research was concentrated in the Nordic countries. Although this field of science originated in Denmark at the beginning of the 19th century, the most important pioneer of palaeoecological peatland research was the Norwegian, Axel Blytt. His model, as modified by the Swedish scientist Rutger Sernander, spread throughout Europe and from there to other continents and has had a major impact on peat stratigraphy and Quaternary science. However, our present knowledge of the regional differences in postglacial vegetation and climate history speaks against the use of the Blytt-Sernander scheme outside southern Scandinavia. Especially, the compulsive application of the Blytt-Sernander scheme in the zoning of pollen diagrams has lead to distortions and erroneous interpretations.
Keywords: Nordic countries, peat stratigraphy, postglacial climate history, pollen analysis

The five-year response of a birch-dominated mixed stand (80% Betula pubescens, 14% Betula pendula) to thinning was studied in a thinning experiment in a mesotrophic, shallow-peated site in Ylitornio, northern Finland. Four thinning intensities (0%, 47%, 57% and 71 % removal of the initial stem number, i.e. 0%, 17%, 27% and 52% removal of the initial basal area), with three replications, were arranged in a randomized block design. At the time of thinning, the stand age was 30 a, and the dominant height was 11.5 m. Light (15%) and normal (27%) thinning decreased the rates of stand-level basal area growth by 12 and 15%, respectively. Thinning resulted in a significant increase in the growth of mean height and a subsequent increase in volume growth in the normally-thinned plots. Following heavy thinning, the volume and basal area growth rates were 35% and 32% less than those in the control treatment. The relative basal area increment, as well as the increase in mean diameter, was at its maximum in the heavily-thinned plots.
