Sustainable forest management
In the use of forests, measures are taken to integrate timber production and measures that promote forest biodiversity, recreational use of forests, game management and landscape management.
The role of forests in mitigating climate change as carbon sinks and storages is also part of forest management.
Silviculture and harvesting
Regeneration and regeneration fellings
Forests can be regenerated naturally or by cultivation.
Thinning
Thinnings are used to steer the development of trees by removing some of them.
Continuous cover forestry
The forest is kept forested at all times, with trees of many sizes and ages.
Tending of seedling stands
Tending of seedling stands involves early clearing and thinning of seedlings.
Forest fertilisation
Forest fertilisation is the fastest way to increase tree growth.
Management of commercial forests
Forest damage
Various organisms and natural phenomena cause damage in forests.
Climate-resilient forest management
The aim is forest health, vitality, and biodiversity.
Management of swamp forests
The management of swamp forest areas should be planned as an integrated whole.
