 road density (forest) |
| Quotient of the length of truck-accessible roads to forest area. Road density is a commonly used key parameter to describe the intensity of the forest transportation system (according to BÜRGI 1997). [D] Erschliessungsdichte Quotient aus der lastwagenbefahrbaren Strassenlänge und der Waldfläche. Die Erschliessungsdichte ist eine gebräuchliche Kennziffer, um die Intensität der Walderschliessung eines Gebietes zu beschreiben (nach BÜRGI 1997). [F] densité de desserte Quotient de la longueur des routes à camions et de la surface forestière. La densité de la desserte est un critère habituel pour définir l'intensité de la desserte forestière (selon BÜRGI 1997). [I] densità della viabilità Rapporto tra la lunghezza delle strade percorribili da automezzi pesanti e la superficie forestale. E' un parametro utilizzabile per la descrizione dell'intensità della viabilità forestale di un comprensorio (BUERGI 1997). |
