Description :
The article documents former land use practices in a boreal forest landscape in Nordli, Central Norway, and discuss the ecological consequences with respect to conservation. Fodder harvesting methods are closely related to ecological conditions and the production level in the boreal forest landscape. Burning to improve the forest pastures is a natural part of the traditional farming system. To ensure successful conservation of the biodiversity of these forests, former land use practices should be documented, and management schemes should be developed on the basis of the acquired knowledge.
