In conclusion, the <strong>coniferous</strong> ecosystem has evoloved with and become adapted to<br />

and, <strong>in</strong> some ways, is dependent on brown rotted wood on and <strong>in</strong> soil profiles. Soil-<br />

wood performs similar functions as humus layers and <strong>in</strong> some <strong>in</strong>stances exceeds the<br />

abilities of humus. Forest managers should therefore view woody residues as a<br />

manageable entity with<strong>in</strong> exist<strong>in</strong>g concepts of resource management objectives.<br />
