Bridging production and protection: Legislative and technical feasibility of continuous cover forestry around freshwater in Sweden.
Article in Ambio, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Forests are essential to the global green transition, but intensified management may undermine environmental goals. Continuous cover forestry (CCF) offers an alternative, balancing timber production and ecosystem conservation. We investigated the legislative and technical feasibility of CCF in riparian buffers along freshwaters, where it could potentially restore simplified stands and better protect water. We analyzed EU, national, and global policies identifying barriers and enablers and used GIS data from 11 Swedish sites estimating the share of productive forest converted to CCF under varying buffer widths. Results show CCF in riparian buffers is feasible, with few legislative barriers and several soft enablers. The EU Nature Restoration Regulation is a key enabler, as CCF-managed buffers can contribute to restoration targets, providing opportunities for different property sizes to meet multiple management objectives. Future feasibility depends on EU member states' implementation of the regulation and alignment of ecological goals with political and economic conditions.
