Table 2. The applicability of forest management approaches (pFMA) for the different species separated by biogeographic regions. FMA I: nature reserve, II: close-to-nature, III: combined objective, IV: even-aged forestry, V: short rotation. Applicability ranges from small (1) to large (4). Based on author judgment.
