Now you have come to the page, Choose variable. This page give you the oportunity to select which variables and values you want to display in your result of the table. A variable is a property of a statistical unit. The page is divided into several boxes, one for each variable, where you can select values by click to highlight one or more values. It always starts with the statistics variable which is the main value counted in the table.

Structural data

Productive forest area (ha)

The productive forest area corresponds to the forest area, on which wood was used or could be used. It is independent of the current management intensity, function of the forest, current management objectives and forest road infrastructure (except inaccessible forest). Pastured woodlands and (special) forest reserves with occasional timber harvesting are also classified as productive forest area.

Proportion small enterprises (%)

Share of enterprises in the forestry test enterprise network that do not meet the minimum required forest area per enterprise introduced with the statistic revision in 2015 (Jura 50-199 ha, Central Plain 50-149 ha, Prealps 50-249 ha, Alps 50-499 ha).

Proportion enterprises 150-250 ha (%)

Proportion of enterprises in forest enterprise network with a productive forest area between 150 and 250 hectares. By definition these can only be enterprises from the Jura and Central Plain.

Proportion enterprises 251-500 ha (%)

Proportion of enterprises in forest enterprise network with a productive forest area between 251 and 500 hectares. By definition these can only be enterprises from the Jura, Central Plain and Prealps.

Proportion enterprises 501-1000 ha (%)

Proportion of enterprises in forest enterprise network with a productive forest areabetween 501 and 1000 hectares.

Proportion enterprises 1001-2000 ha (%)

Proportion of enterprises in forest enterprise network with a productive forest area between 1001 and 1000 hectares.

Proportion enterprises >2000 ha (%)

Proportion of enterprises in forest enterprise network with a productive forest area greater than 2000 hectares.

Forest road infrastructure (m'/ha)

Shows forest road infrastructure density in meters per hectare of productive forest area.

Machine tracks (in m'/ha)

Shows the machine tracks density in meters per hectare of productive forest area

Skyline cable area (ha)

Shows forest skyline cable infrastructure area in hectars of productive forest area.

Skyline cable area (%)

Proportion of forest skyline cable infrastructure in the productive forest area.

Stock (m3/ha)

Shows the volume of wood stock per hectare productive forest.

Allowable cut (m3/ha)

Shows the volume of harvested timber per hectare productive forest.

Increment (m3/ha)

Shows the volume of the yearly wood growth per hectare productive forest. This key figure is based on data for year x.

Total timber harvesting (m3)

Coniferous industrial timber (%)

Proportion of confierous industrial timber to the total timber harvesting.

Coniferous energy logs (%)

Proportion of coniferous energy logs to the total timber harvesting.

Coniferous wood chips (%)

Proportion of coniferous wood chips to the total timber harvesting.

Other coniferous assortments (%)

Proportion of other coniferous assortments to the total timber harvesting.

Proportion of deciduous timber harvesting (%)

Proportion of deciduous timber to the total timber harvesting.

Deciduous trunk timber (%)

Proportion of deciduous trunk timber to the total timber harvesting.

Deciduous industrial timber (%)

Proportion of deciduous industrial timber to the total timber harvesting.

Deciduous energy logs (%)

Management personnel (Empl./1000ha)

Number of management employees (leadership, planning) per 1000 hectares of productive forest area.

Operative personnel (Empl./1000ha)

Number of operative employees (carrying out activities) per 1000 hectares of productive forest area.

Personnel hours management (hrs/ha)

Personnel hours per hectare of productive forest incurred by management personnel. For an interpretation of personnel hours the key figure always has to be considered in combination with the proportion of own contribution.

Proportion of own contribution (%)

The proportion of own contribution refers to the cost share of the total costs, which is generated by the own forest enterprise.
