Per year, region and vegetation type is defined what fraction of the forests is logged by selective cut and what part is logged by clear cut (parameters from inventory by [[Arets et al., 2010]]). Selective cut only takes place on vegetation types with a high forest coverage (>75%). After logging only a fraction of the harvested wood is actually removed as timber for the market. What is left behind in the forest represents the losses during tree harvesting, either from unintended collateral tree damage or by removing unusable tree parts. Harvest in any forest management type can only take place when the rotation cycle of regrowth of a forest is completed (see table). | Per year, region and vegetation type is defined what fraction of the forests is logged by selective cut and what part is logged by clear cut (parameters from inventory by [[Arets et al., 2010]]).
