In IMAGE, felling in each region follows a stepwise procedure until timber demand is met, attributed to the three aforementioned management systems. The proportion for each management system is derived from forest inventories for different world regions ([[Arets et al., 2011]]) and used as model input (Figure Flowchart).

The proportion for each management system is derived from forest inventories for different world regions ([[Arets et al., 2011]]) and used as model input (Figure Flowchart). Firstly, timber is derived from forest land that have been converted to agriculture. Secondly, timber from forest plantations at the end of their rotation cycle are harvested. Finally, trees from natural forests are harvested, applying clear felling and/or selective felling. In all management systems, trees can only be harvested when the rotation cycle of forest regrowth has been completed. | ||
