Linder, W., Gwatt (Switzerland) | Marti, W.
Sylvicultural concepts regarding a permanent forest stand (permanent forest, selection forest, mountain selection forest) are becoming increasingly important. From an economic point of view these concepts are interesting since the organic production is extensive work with a high portion of growing quality wood. Motivated by the Binding Forest Award 2007, given to the community of Sumiswald and regarding the subject “success in the natural production forest', the methods, success factors and the difficulties with the selection in the private forest of the Emmental are described. It shows that despite the frequent lack of basic site and stand specific information, a transition of the forest stands towards selection forests is possible if the forest owners, supported by experts and the local forest service, are consequently striving for this goal.
