Land consolidation in forest areas : the German approach in terms of sustainability
Wilden, Ralf
Woods belong to the most important earthly resources. Besides their balancing function for ecology woods hold an extensive economic potential. The fact that the stock of wood is increasing continuously in Germany shows that this potential is not used to the full extend. In many cases unfavourable proprietary structures as well as an insufficient road network make an economic utilisation of the resource wood impossible. On the basis of examples from Northrhine-Westfalia it is shown, that with means of land development the utilisation of the resource wood in consideration of ecological interests can be improved.
