Wood volume of the stem without bark and stump ≥7 cm in diameter (limit for merchantable wood) of all trees and shrubs with a diameter at breast height (dbh) ≥12 cm that were harvested between two inventories and were alive during the earlier inventory.

Stemwood volume of all trees and shrubs with a diameter at breast height (dbh) ≥12 cm with bark that were harvested, died or disappeared between two inventories.

Wood volume of branches ≥7cm in diameter with bark (limit for merchantable wood of all trees and shrubs with a diameter at breast height (dbh) ≥12 cm that were harvested between two inventories and were alive during the earlier inventory.

Wood volume of the stem without bark and stump and the branches with bark ≥7 cm in diameter (limit for merchantable wood) of all trees and shrubs with a diameter at breast height (dbh) ≥12 cm that were harvested between two inventories and were alive during the earlier inventory. The target variable "merchantable timber harvested" is an approximation of the amount of usable wood. It comes closest to the volume of timber harvested recorded in the Swiss Forest Statistics.

Volume of stemwood with bark of all trees and shrubs ≥12 cm diameter at breast height (dbh) that were removed from the forest because of damage that occurred between two inventories rather than due to silvicultural planning. The characteristic is derived at the sample plot level from the fellings of the tally trees and the proportion of sanitary/salvage fellings (according to information from the foresters).

Stemwood volume of all trees and shrubs with a diameter at breast height (dbh) ≥12 cm with bark that were not removed from the forest as part of silvicultural planning, but because they had been damaged by insects between two inventories. The variable is derived at the sample plot level from the harvested tally trees and the proportion of sanitary/salvage fellings (according to information provided by the foresters).

Stemwood volume of all trees and shrubs with a diameter at breast height (dbh) ≥12 cm with bark that were not removed from the forest as part of silvicultural planning, but because they had been damaged by wind between two inventories. The variable is derived at the sample plot level from the harvested tally trees and the proportion of sanitary/salvage fellings (according to information provided by the foresters).

Increase in stemwood volume between two inventories of all surviving trees and shrubs with a diameter at breast height (dbh) ≥12 cm with bark, the stemwood volume of all ingrowing trees and shrubs with bark, and the modelled increase in the stemwood volume of the losses with bark during half the inventory period.

Increase in the stemwood volume between two inventories of all surviving trees and shrubs with a diameter at breast height (dbh) ≥12 cm with bark, the stemwood volume of all ingrowing trees and shrubs with bark, and the modelled increase in the stemwood volume of the losses with bark during half the inventory period minus the volume of mortality. The net increment thus corresponds to the increment (=gross increment) minus the volume of mortality.

Stemwood volume of all trees and shrubs with a diameter at breast height (dbh) ≥12 cm with bark that were harvested, died or disappeared between two inventories.

Stemwood volume of all trees and shrubs with a diameter at breast height (dbh) ≥12 cm with bark that died naturally between two inventories (e.g. due to windthrow or insects) or disappeared (e.g. due to avalanches), but that were not harvested. Mortality is the sum of natural losses and the remaining mortality.
