Definition

metsä, joka on syntynyt kasketulle alueelle kaskiviljelyn lopettamisen jälkeen
skog som har uppstått på svedjebränt område efter svedjebruket
forest that has emerged on a site formerly managed by slash-and-burn agriculture practices

Note

Kaskeamisen vuoksi runsastuivat erityisesti harmaaleppä, mutta myös haapa, koivu ja mänty.
På grund av svedjebruket blev i synnerhet gråalen, men också aspen, björken och tallen vanligare.
In Finland, especially grey alder but also common aspen, birch, and Scots pine became more abundant due to slash-and-burn practices.
