Lesson 1Mixed-species management: facilitation, species admixture plannin', managin' competitive interactionsDis part tackle mixed-species management, includin' facilitation processes, species admixture plannin', spatial patterns, an' tools fi manage competitive interactions so productivity, resilience, an' risk distribution stay optimized.
Functional traits and complementarity in mixturesDesigning species admixtures and proportionsSpatial patterns: intimate versus group mixturesManaging competition, shading, and root overlapRisk sharing and resilience in mixed standsLesson 2Overview a silvicultural systems: clearcut, shelterwood, selection, group selection, continuous cover, coppice an' conversion systemsDis part give overview a major silvicultural systems, like clearcut, shelterwood, selection, group selection, continuous cover, coppice, an' conversion approaches, highlightin' structures created, regeneration modes, an' key applications.
Clearcut systems and main variantsShelterwood systems and regeneration phasesSelection and group selection systemsContinuous cover forestry concepts and toolsCoppice and coppice-with-standards conversionLesson 3Criteria fi system selection: objectives, species ecology, site quality, topography, social constraints, legal protection zonesDis part present criteria fi selectin' silvicultural systems, mixin' management objectives, species ecology, site quality, topography, social expectations, an' legal protection zones inna clear, defensible decision frameworks.
Clarifying production and conservation objectivesMatching species ecology with system choiceSite quality, climate, and topographic constraintsInfrastructure, access, and operational limitsLegal, social, and certification requirementsLesson 4Even-aged systems fi pine plantations: rotation length, thin'nin' regimes (intensity, timin'), prunin', clearcut techniques wid retentionDis part detail even-aged silviculture fi pine plantations, includin' rotation plannin', thin'nin' intensity an' timin', prunin' regimes, an' clearcut techniques wid retention weh balance timber yield, stability, an' ecological values.
Rotation length and endpoint stand conditionsDesigning thinning schedules and intensitiesCrown lifting and pruning for timber qualityClearcut operations with structural retentionRegeneration planning after final harvestLesson 5Uneven-aged systems fi Quercus–Fagus stands: single-tree selection, group selection, target diameter distributions, recruitment dynamicsDis part check uneven-aged systems in Quercus–Fagus stands, detailin' single-tree an' group selection, target diameter distributions, recruitment dynamics, an' markin' rules weh maintain continuous cover, quality timber, an' habitat diversity.
Stand structure and diameter distribution goalsSingle-tree selection marking guidelinesGroup selection size, layout, and frequencyRecruitment and ingrowth of regeneration cohortsControlling shade and competition in mixed canopiesLesson 6Natural regeneration vs plantin': microsite preparation, seedbed requirements fi pine, oak, beech, seedling establishment strategiesDis part compare natural regeneration an' plantin', focusin' pon microsite preparation, seedbed needs a pine, oak, an' beech, an' early seedling establishment strategies weh improve survival, growth, an' long-term stand stability.
Microsite preparation for natural regenerationSeedbed requirements for pine, oak, and beechDirect seeding versus planting of seedlingsStock type, quality, and handling of planting materialEarly tending to secure seedling establishmentLesson 7Assisted natural regeneration an' enrichment plantin' in protection/riparian standsDis part cover assisted natural regeneration an' enrichment plantin' in protection an' riparian stands, emphasizin' site assessment, protection a advance growth, species choice, spacin', an' tendin' fi reinforce ecological functions an' stability.
Site diagnosis in protection and riparian forestsProtecting and releasing advance regenerationDesigning enrichment strips, gaps, and clustersSpecies and provenance choice for enrichmentTending enriched cohorts and monitoring successLesson 8Retention forestry an' structural complexity: biological legacies, habitat trees, an' deadwood managementDis part explore retention forestry an' structural complexity, focusin' pon biological legacies, habitat trees, an' deadwood management fi sustain biodiversity, ecological processes, an' structural continuity after harvestin'.
