wolf, peregrine falcon)- many old-growth forests

• until WW II. the silvicultural systems in Slovenia were:– clear-cut system in the Alps– selection system the Dinaric region and in some private
forest (silver fir)– large scale uniform shelterwood for beech– coppicing
• in 1948 clear-cut system was prohibited and selection system was introduced to all forests -> partially unsatisfactory results, especially with beech
• in 50’ irregular shelterwood was introduced (CH)• in 60’ “free style” silvicultural system (Prof. Mlinšek)

Clear-cut forest in the Olympic Peninsula, Washington. If you were driving, you’d probably not notice the clearing at all! And that, my friend, is the pictorial definition of a façade.

• CTN forestry as slow food forestry or organic forestry (higher price?)
• certification (FSC)• ProSilva – CTN is economically very efficient!
• if you make calculations:– compare whole production cycle and more
– don’t use interest rates (if you use them you have to start from primeval forest)

2) direct influences on management success- less thinning and planting (use natural forces, tending by
continuous cover, eg. quality of beech, thinner branches, natural regeneration)
- mixture (grow valuable trees) auction; not every large diameter tree is valuable; but all high priced trees were large diameter trees; harvest them individually
- quality (apply thinning and pruning)
