英文摘要	Shelterwood (SW) cutting is considered a sustainable harvest method but its impact on understorey diversity of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) forests has not been thoroughly studied. Our aim was to clarify how uniform SW cutting in interactions with soil scarification, deposition of logging residues and altered light conditions affects the species richness and composition of vascular plants and bryophytes and how different species groups and individual species vary in their responses to SW practices. We monitored permanent vegetation plots in nine mature pine forests of hemiboreal Estonia before, shortly after and 3–4 years after SW harvesting. The results indicated that the effect of uniform SW harvesting was species group specific as the majority of vascular plant species groups as well as mosses and epigeic bryophytes increased in richness, however, the species richness of epiphytic and epixylic bryophytes decreased. Late-successional species showed two types of responses to SW harvesting: either reduction of cover or reduction followed by a recovery. Soil scarification favoured early-successional bryophyte species as well as the richness of tree seedlings and dwarf-shrubs but diminished the cover of Vaccinium myrtillus, Vaccinium vitis-idaea and Hylocomium splendens. The harvest-induced changes in the species composition were more pronounced for bryophyte communities than for vascular plants. Retention of green trees and dead-wood is important in SW harvesting for sustaining the vulnerable epixylic and epiphytic bryophyte species. To summarise, uniform SW harvesting increases the species richness of vascular plant and bryophyte communities in pine forests - at least in the short term. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.
