Controlled burning (kulotus)

Controlled burning means the deliberate burning of logging residue and retained trees, surface vegetation and humus after a regeneration felling. The purpose of controlled burning is to give a better start to the growth of a new tree generation or to simulate a natural forest fire, in order that species adapted to periodic fires should have a better chance of surviving.
