Swedish term or phrase: plantlavar (enkla plantskolor)
Kulturmiljöer vittnar om tidigare generationers tillvaro och vi ska värna dem för att öka våra och framtida generationers kunskaper om hur landet har brukats.
Exempel på vad som kan vara kulturmiljöer och kulturlämningar i skogen är slåttermyrar, husgrunder, fäbodvallar, röjningsrösen, stenmurar, äldre färdvägar, kvarnar, sågar, anordningar för flottning vid vattendrag, plantlavar (enkla plantskolor), kolningsanläggningar och tjärframställningsplatser, samt kulturlämningar efter äldre tiders renskötsel.

Explanation:
A "plantlave", plural "plantlavar" could also be something rather larger than a cold frame - see here http://tinyurl.com/mxb2jd3 - "Plantlave var en inhägnad för gran och tallplantor för att skydda dem mot betesdjur." In the context of "kulturlämningar" this is perhaps more likely.

agree  Charles Ek: "Linnaeus also describes the cultivation practice of potato onions in containers, so called “plantlavar” (Linné, 1953 [1734]." – http://tinyurl.com/okfth6n

agree  Michael Ellis: This may need some explanation for the ultimate reader, as 'windowless' cold frames are unknown in UK and as far as I know, in USA-even Alaska (See http://www.organicgardening.com/learn-and-grow/make-your-own...
