Dawn (forestry)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Typical fragile wood

Dawn or break of wood is in the forest , a term used for partially rotten for various reasons and rotten become no longer beilfestes wood . Such wood is also referred to as fragile .

Until 1969, anbruch (wood) was the official name for rotten ( fungus-infested ) wood that was no longer wedge-shaped or no longer attached to an ax. This applies as long nor as beilfest as by Beilhiebe compact roundabouts and logs of more than seven centimeters at the weaker end arise so-called convertible firewood .

The word fragile could also be found in the legal trade class sorting for raw wood (Forst-HKS), which was valid from 1969 to 2009, which made specifications for the keeping (sorting) of raw wood. According to this, fragile wood , if still commercially usable, was classified as industrial wood in the quality classes IF (“slightly fragile, coarse or crooked”) and IK (“very fragile, but commercially usable”).

However, the Duden does not know the word in its forestry meaning.

In relation to the forest ecosystem, fragile wood is an important habitat for numerous insect species. Above all, beetles such as the alpine buck , the barnacle , rhinoceros beetle or hermit develop in it.
