Forest area closest to young forest plants with a particular type of damage. Young forest plants are trees and shrubs ≥10 cm in height and ≤11.9 cm in diameter at breast height (dbh). However, depending on the inventory, only trees ( NFI3, NFI5) or only trees and selected shrub species (NFI4) were recorded as the nearest young forest plant. Since a young forest plant may have several different types of damage, it can contribute to areas with several different damage types at the same time.

Number of stems of conifers and broadleaves 10 to 129 cm in height on which browsing on the shoot from the previous year was detected. Since a different method was used for assessing browsing traces in NFI2, the browsing intensity was overestimated in comparison with in the inventories from NFI4 on. Thus, only increases in browsing intensity can be clearly determined in comparisons with NFI2. For a reliable estimate, at least 30 individuals per estimated value (table cell) should have been assessed for browsing. Therefore, the corresponding tables with the target variable "Number of trees assessed for browsing (no extrapolation)" should also be consulted.

Actual number of conifers and broadleaves assessed for browsing during the field survey (no extrapolation).
