Due to increased social demands for biodiversity and recreation, the proportion of border zones in the forest landscape has increased. The purpose of this thesis were to establish growth variables in new stand planted according to the rejuvenation model Smålandsmodellen developed to lower rejuvenation cost by planting fewer seedlings in the right place with the intention of maintaining production targets. The result showed that the number of main plants were less per hectare than requirements and that the rejuvenation cost were lower in avarage for planting and scarification in both Smålandsmodellen and outcome of the study, than traditional methods. The model as a forest management system has the potential to contribute to a sustainable and functional ecosystem in production stands but does require a certain degree of user knowledge when implementing.
