<b>BACKGROUND</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=name style='margin-top:0cm'><span lang=EN-GB style='mso-ansi-language:
EN-GB'>Until the end of the 19th century many European forests were
characterised by devastation and soil deterioration which caused fears of
timber shortage. In order to counteract shortage in supply, many forest areas
were reforested with coniferous trees. Consequently, even-aged coniferous
forests were established on many sites naturally dominated by broadleaves. As
a result, damages caused by storm, snow, ice, drought, insects, fungi and
possibly soil degradation seem to occur more frequently in these secondary
coniferous forests than in forests composed by site adapted species.
Conversion or restoration of coniferous stands may reduce these risks and
upgrade biodiversity and the genetic potential of forests. As the future wood
markets, economic results of forestry, and various other goods and services,
which forest ecosystems provide to society, are affected by present and
future decision making all aspects of conversion must be well understood.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
