1st International Electronic Conference on Forests, 15–30 November 2020

Aim of the project: Protection of soil fertility and biodiversity

➢ Determination of current nutrient pools and fluxes of different forest sites

➢ Estimation of expected nutrient removals during wood extraction

➢ Derivation of nutrient balances

➢ Formulation of management recommendations

Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL) |1st IECF | 15–30 November 2020

Material and methods: Real data from case study areas and modelling

Soil analyses

• pH-value

• Ca, Mg, K, Na, Mn, Fe, Zn

• N-, S- and P-content

• carbon(org)-content

• weathering rate

• deposition

• soil leaching

Decision Support

• Derivation of

nutrient balances

• Formulation of management

recommendations Case study areas

1) Bülach (CH)

2) Buch a.Irchel (CH)

Simulation

• alternative forest management

strategies

• forest stand

development over rotation period

• nutrient removal due to extraction

Outlook: Development of nutrient database and software

➢ Application of method to overall Switzerland

➢ Implementation of site-specific nutrient-balances in forest planning

Today trees are planted to strengthen protection forests, promote species diversity, or to produce valuable timber with indigenous tree species.. Swiss forests are becoming older

The federal forestry policies are aimed at supporting efficient structures in the forest economy, for example, by assisting co-oper- ation between forest owners and larger

The increase in the growing stocks has had, on the whole, a negative effect since a forest with a high volume of growing stock is usually dense and dark.. As a result,

We do, however, have the figures for the roundwood that reaches the market: Swiss forest enterprises sell 4 to 5 million cu- bic metres each year.. This is an av- erage of 3.5

Forests in the Central Plateau and in the Pre-Alps are used most in- tensively (41% and 27% of total use, respectively) because they are generally more easily accessi- ble than

In the highly acid and extremely acid soils the average base saturation of the fine earth is less than half as high as in slightly acid or ba- sic soils. However, even in high- ly

The study shows that wood is mainly being used in the construction industry, but also for outdoor construc- tions, for furniture and fittings and for packaging and wooden
