Commercial forest in southern Mecklenburg

As commercial forest or timber are colloquially forests designated to be used for forestry.

Terms

The commercial forest differs from the primeval forest and other non-managed forest areas, for example from the secondary forest . In forest management, the term commercial forest is used in operational planning and is interpreted much more narrowly. Basically only wooden floor areas belong to the commercial forest. In Saarland, for example, a distinction is made between:

  • the "commercial forest in regular operation" (WW ir B), which includes all wooden floor areas that are subject to regular management;
  • the "commercial forest except regular operation." (WW a r .B), the all wooden floor surfaces, which can not be managed on a regular basis, or their sustainable exploitation possibility for the foreseeable future below 1 harvesting cubic meters of compact wood per year and ha is comprising;
  • or the “special economic forest with increased operating expenses” (WW meB). This includes forest areas that cannot be cultivated on a regular basis, but, unlike WW arB, require a special amount of work. This includes, in particular, areas in areas with increased traffic safety requirements, such as steep slopes on the edges of buildings or on roads.

The "commercial forest out of regular operation" is sometimes also referred to as non-commercial forest or exclusion forest.

National

Germany

In Germany the commercial forest is the almost exclusive form of the forest. According to a study by the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation, 97% of German forests are used more or less intensively for economic purposes, only 2.8% are free from use (as of April 2019). This contradicts a goal set by the federal government in 2007 to make 5% of the forest free of use by 2020.

Pest Control

Pesticides such as cyhalothrin and tebufenozide are sprayed to control pests in the commercial forests .
