Area with clearly visible traces on the forest floor from timber harvesting vehicles such as tractors, forwarders and harvesters.

All areas designated as forest according to the NFI forest definition. The forest definition includes shrub forest. The target variable "forest area" is also used when classifying the total area as forest or non-forest.

Forest area classified according to its functions (including "no special forest function"), as determined in the interview survey with the local forest services. A forest area can fulfil several forest functions at the same time, and can thus contribute to the forest area of several forest functions.

Area of forest with recreational uses such as walking, hiking, jogging, cycling, biking, skiing and snowboarding, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, horse-riding, camping, other activities, or no activities. Since different recreational activities may take place in a forest at the same time, this forest may contribute to the area of several recreation types.

Forest area in which specific measures for the conservation or promotion of biodiversity have been implemented since the last inventory. Only measures that have been explicitly subsidised as 'biodiversity' measures are taken into account. Since several biodiversity measures may be implemented in a forest area at the same time, this area may contribute to the total area of several different biodiversity measures.

Ratio of the different damage events (e.g. wind, insects) which led to damage gaps. The ratio is determined on the basis of those damage gaps that account for at least 10% of the interpretation area (50 × 50 m) and on which, according to the information provided by the local forest services, only one damage event occurred. The target value thus allows comparisons of inventories from NFI3 onwards.

In NFI1, dead trees were only included if their wood was still usable. The total basal area NFI1 corresponds to the sum of the basal area and the deadwood basal area NFI1.

Dry weight (mass) of the so-called LIS deadwood, i.e. lying deadwood with a diameter ≥7 cm (merchantable wood; excluding merchantable wood pieces in heaps of branches), which cannot be assigned to a tree or shrub with a diameter at breast height (dbh) ≥12 cm. The mass is determined with the help of species- and decomposition-dependent wood densities.

Dry weight (mass) of living trees and shrubs with a diameter at breast height (dbh) ≥12 cm. The tree parts considered are: the roots, stemwood, branchwood and needles/leaves.

Dry weight (mass) of the aboveground parts of living trees and shrubs with a diameter at breast height (dbh) ≥12 cm. The tree parts included are: stemwood, branchwood and needles/leaves.

Dry weight (mass) of lying dead trees and shrubs with a diameter at breast height (dbh) ≥12 cm. This mass is determined with the help of species- and decomposition-dependent wood densities from the tree parts: roots, stemwood and, depending on the degree of decomposition, also the merchantable branchwood.

Dry weight (mass) of standing dead trees and shrubs with a diameter at breast height (dbh) ≥12 cm. This mass is determined with the help of species- and decomposition-dependent wood densities from the tree parts roots, stemwood and, depending on the degree of decomposition, also the merchantable branchwood.

Dry weight (mass) of the stumps ≥7 cm in diameter, i.e. the aboveground, woody parts of trees or shrubs below the felling cut or (in the case of natural decay) below the break surface. The maximum height of a stump is 1.3 m; if it is >1.3 m, it is treated as a snag. The mass is determined on the basis of species- and decomposition-dependent wood densities.

Number of microhabitats on standing living trees and shrubs ≥12 cm in diameter at breast height (dbh). Microhabitats are defined as: fungal fruiting bodies; areas on the stem where moss, lichen or ivy covers more than 10%; woodpecker breeding cavity; shallow tree cavity; wide crack; bark pocket; fresh break; dendrotelm; canker or burr; buttress-root concavity; deep tree cavity; area of exposed bare wood larger than a hand; stag-headedness; resin flow; insect damage (foot of trunk /trunk/stem); >20% dead branches.

Number of standing living trees and shrubs ≥12 cm in diameter at breast height (dbh) on which a microhabitat was found. Since various microhabitats at a time may be found on the same tree, the tree may contribute to the number of stems (standing-living) of several different microhabitats. Microhabitats are defined as: fungal fruiting bodies; areas on the stem where moss, lichen or ivy covers more than 10%; woodpecker breeding cavity; shallow tree cavity; wide crack; bark pocket; fresh break; dendrotelm; canker or burr; buttress-root concavity; deep tree cavity; area of exposed bare wood larger than a hand; stag-headedness; resin flow; insect damage (foot of trunk /trunk/stem); >20% dead branches.

Die gewichtete ZG-Nr. 336 berücksichtigt nicht alle im Datensatz vorhandenen Strassen-/Streckenabschnitte mit ihrer jeweils erfassten vollen Länge. Je nach Lage können Strassen-/Streckenabschnitte z.B. im freien Feld weggelassen, oder nur zu 50% ihrer Länge berücksichtigt werden. Zu den LFI-Waldstrassen zählen nur die zum Zeitpunkt der LFI-Erhebung in den aktuellen Erschliessungsdaten explizit verfügbaren Strassen-/Streckenabschnitte. Die in der LFA.WASTRA-Tabellenbeschreibung genannten Bedingungen müssen bei der Verwendung der ZG eingehalten werden.

Die gewichtete ZG-Nr. 345 berücksichtigt die vorhandenen Strassen-/Streckenabschnitte, die im Schutzwaldperimeter und gleichzeitig innerhalb des Waldes der LFI-Waldmaske liegen. Der Schutzwaldperimeter wurde vom BAFU als GIS-Datei zur Verfügung gestellt (Stand 2013). Die Strassen-/Streckenabschnitte werden nur teilweise mit ihrer jeweils erfassten vollen Länge berücksichtigt, sondern sind gewichtet. Je nach Lage können Strassen-/Streckenabschnitte z.B. im freien Feld weggelassen, oder nur zu 50% ihrer Länge berücksichtigt werden. Die verwendete flächendeckende Walddefinition orientiert sich an der Waldmaske auf der Basis des Vegetationshöhenmodells und ist nicht identisch mit den Waldkriterien und Punktentscheiden des LFI und/oder mit den Waldkriterien des Schutzwaldes. Zu den LFI4-Waldstrassen im Schutzwald zählen nur die zum Zeitpunkt der LFI4-Erhebung explizit verfügbaren Strassen-/Streckenabschnitte. Die in der LFA.WASTRA-Tabellenbeschreibung genannten Bedingungen müssen bei der Verwendung der ZG eingehalten werden.

Number of stems of dead trees and shrubs (standing and lying) with a diameter at breast height (dbh) ≥12 cm.

Number of stems of dead trees and shrubs (standing and lying) with a diameter at breast height (dbh) ≥12 cm recorded according to the NFI1 method. In NFI1, dead trees were only included if their wood was still usable. In addition, lying but still green trees were classified as deadwood.

Measure of the density of a stocking calculated from the number of stems per hectare (in NFI trees and shrubs with a diameter at breast height [dbh] ≥12 cm) and the mean diameter. With a callipering threshold of 0 cm, the SDI is largely independent of the site quality, tree species composition and stand age.

Number of stems of all living and dead trees and shrubs (standing and lying) with a diameter at breast height (dbh) ≥12 cm. The total number of stems is the sum of the number of stems and the number of deadwood stems.

In NFI1, dead trees were only included if their wood was still usable. The total number of stems NFI1 is the sum of the number of stems and the number of deadwood stems NFI1.

Number of living and dead trees and shrubs (standing and lying) ≥12 cm diameter at breast heigth (dbh) with damage. Only the two most important forms of damage to a tree are recorded. Since a tree may be damaged in different ways, it may contribute more than once to the total number of stems with the two most important forms of damage.
