fen forest or fenwood and thinnings Explanation: P. Mühle Fachwörterbuch Landwirtschaft Forstwirtschaft Gartenbau for all it's worth -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-01-22 16:41:39 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It would sound as if it\'s broken branches or whatever but I cannot get any reference for that idea. So I stay with fen forest. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-01-22 18:49:12 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Direct answer to John: If it\'s Kalamitätsholz, then this is salvage wood. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-01-23 07:09:27 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Forgot to mention: Fen forest is a speciality of the Scandinavian countries. |

windfall / thinning Explanation: Bruchholz: auch Kalamitätsholz genannt, entsteht z. B. dadurch, daß ein Unwetter den Forst verwüstet, Äste oder ganze Bäume abbricht (Windbruch). Windfall: An area where one or more trees have been blown over by high wind; the tree(s) so destroyed. "... thinning will provide cash for trees that will die before maturity, remove inferior trees, stimulate the growth of remaining high quality trees, and provide a positive cash flow." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-01-22 17:13:51 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- These two sources for (inferior) wood are meant in your context. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-01-22 21:00:16 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In response to Edith\'s comment: Salvage wood (timber) describes all kinds of wood that is reclaimed, typically after forest fires or storms, but also from old buildings. \"Salvage Timber - Dead or dying trees harvested while they are still sound and can be made into products.\" WINDFALL -Tree or trees that have been uprooted or broken off by the wind. Also known as blow down. Bruchholz is the more widely used German term. \"Kalamitätsholz\" is frequently used in brackets to explain Bruchholz: \"Abfallholz als Sägenebenprodukt fällt an bei der Pflege und Durchforstung der Wälder (Waldholz) als Bruchholz (Kalamitätsholz). \" |

windblown and thinning timber Explanation: I've seen both windthrown and windblown trees in this connection. Bruchholz auch Kalamitätsholz genannt, entsteht z. B. dadurch, daß ein Unwetter den Forst verwüstet, Äste oder ganze Bäume abbricht ("Windbruch") oder im Winter Äste und auch ganze Bäume durch das Gewicht des auf ihnen lastenden Schnees abbrechen ("Schneebruch"). Die sehr kostspieligen Aufräumungsarbeiten - als Voraussetzung zur Wiederaufforstung und als Schutz gegen Insektenbefall und Waldbrände - sind nur zu finanzieren, wenn sich Käufer für die Abfallhölzer finden. Verwertet wird das Bruchholz nur in der Zellstoff- und Papierindustrie sowie bei der Spanplattenherstellung, die damit einen wertvollen Beitrag zur Erhaltung des Waldes leisten. http://www.schneidersoehne.com/ssp/papier/lexikon/Bruchholz.... Effects on wood markets: spreading the impact over time and finding new outlets for wood: The sudden massive over-supply of roundwood, equivalent to 1-3 years of normal harvest in these three countries has caused severe market disruption. Despite the increased costs of harvesting windblown trees, wood prices have dropped sharply, and caused major economic damage to forest owners, public and private. Programmes and strategies have been developed and applied, in consultation with all market partners to minimise this damage. Different approaches have been applied in different countries, but the main lines are: http://www.unece.org/trade/timber/storm/storm.htm Watch the number of windblown and damaged trees closely through the first winter and spring. In some cases, the number of damaged trees will constitute a logging re-entry to remove them after the harvest. Thinning Thinning is applied to sites that are overstocked with trees. By harvesting part of the tract, the remaining forest stand will grow faster. Trees that are harvested during a thinning operation can be used to make paper or building products. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-01-22 23:18:36 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In addition, these thinning timber sales reduce shade and erode the moist, cool conditions associated with mature forests. As a result, they create hotter, drier conditions on the ground, making the forest more susceptible to unnaturally severe forest fires.
