Tech/Engineering - Forestry / Wood / Timber / specifications | | French term or phrase: portance | Last forestry question, I promise!
M’engager à respecter les obligations environnementales dont j’ai connaissance et à en informer le propriétaire, à nettoyer la coupe de tout objet ou produit utilisé lors des opérations d’exploitation et de débardage, de rétablir s’il y a lieu, les écoulements ou drainage préexistants, d’employer les moyens disponibles adaptés à la **portance** ou à la fragilité du milieu forestier.
Is this the capacity of the forest?
How much cutting it can support/withstand?
Many thanks in advance,
