INTRODUCTION • the forest based sector in Europe uses 770 M m3of timber from all over the world (FAO, 2000) • using timber of the appropriate quality is essential for products of the highest quality • the consumption of timber based on the existing rules is not optimised
CHALLENGE quality of timber depends on various factors: • provenance and growing conditions • silviculture systems and forest operations • impact of biotic and abiotic factors • other factors = =
