[GZ03] Growing stock, increment and fellings
State

Key message
Good

In Slovenia, forests have been growing in terms of timber reserves and growth for decades. They have increased by more than 140% over the last 70 years. In addition to natural conditions, harvesting depends on socioeconomic factors, and recently on the occurrence of natural disasters (windbreaks, icebreakers) and bark beetles, and today it amounts to about 50% of the increase. By 2014, the felling accounted for about 50% of the increment, after which it increased substantially and presents 60 to 75% of the total increment of conifers and deciduous trees.
