Tech/Engineering - Forestry / Wood / Timber / forestry | | German term or phrase: Bruch- und Durchforstungshölzer | OK - I know this should probably be two questions, but my theory is that the terms are probably similar and if anyone knows one they'll know both. If this is not the case, shout at me and I'll post another question as well ;-)
Context: Markeiting brochure for a packaging company.
Unsere Packungen bestehen zum größten Teil aus Zellstofffasern, die aus Bruch- und Durchforstungshölzern vorwiegend aus Skandinavien stammen.
The next sentence goes on to say that for every tree that is chopped down, another one is planted, so the sources are sustainable.
Grateful for any suggestions!

| | | windfall / thinning | Explanation:
Bruchholz:
auch Kalamitätsholz genannt, entsteht z. B. dadurch, daß ein Unwetter den Forst verwüstet, Äste oder ganze Bäume abbricht (Windbruch).
Windfall:
An area where one or more trees have been blown over by high wind; the tree(s) so destroyed.
"... thinning will provide cash for trees that will die before maturity, remove inferior trees, stimulate the growth of remaining high quality trees, and provide a positive cash flow."

In response to Edith\'s comment:
Salvage wood (timber) describes all kinds of wood that is reclaimed, typically after forest fires or storms, but also from old buildings.
\"Salvage Timber - Dead or dying trees harvested while they are still sound and can be made into products.\"
WINDFALL -Tree or trees that have been uprooted or broken off by the wind. Also known as blow down.
Bruchholz is the more widely used German term. \"Kalamitätsholz\" is frequently used in brackets to explain Bruchholz:
\"Abfallholz als Sägenebenprodukt fällt an bei der Pflege und Durchforstung der Wälder (Waldholz) als Bruchholz (Kalamitätsholz). \"

It would sound as if it\'s broken branches or whatever but I cannot get any reference for that idea. So I stay with fen forest.

Direct answer to John:
If it\'s Kalamitätsholz, then this is salvage wood.

Forgot to mention: Fen forest is a speciality of the Scandinavian countries.

| windblown and thinning timber
Explanation:
I've seen both windthrown and windblown trees in this connection.
Bruchholz
auch Kalamitätsholz genannt, entsteht z. B. dadurch, daß ein Unwetter den Forst verwüstet, Äste oder ganze Bäume abbricht ("Windbruch") oder im Winter Äste und auch ganze Bäume durch das Gewicht des auf ihnen lastenden Schnees abbrechen ("Schneebruch"). Die sehr kostspieligen Aufräumungsarbeiten - als Voraussetzung zur Wiederaufforstung und als Schutz gegen Insektenbefall und Waldbrände - sind nur zu finanzieren, wenn sich Käufer für die Abfallhölzer finden. Verwertet wird das Bruchholz nur in der Zellstoff- und Papierindustrie sowie bei der Spanplattenherstellung, die damit einen wertvollen Beitrag zur Erhaltung des Waldes leisten.

Effects on wood markets: spreading the impact over time and finding new outlets for wood: The sudden massive over-supply of roundwood, equivalent to 1-3 years of normal harvest in these three countries has caused severe market disruption. Despite the increased costs of harvesting windblown trees, wood prices have dropped sharply, and caused major economic damage to forest owners, public and private. Programmes and strategies have been developed and applied, in consultation with all market partners to minimise this damage. Different approaches have been applied in different countries, but the main lines are:

Watch the number of windblown and damaged trees closely through the first winter and spring. In some cases, the number of damaged trees will constitute a logging re-entry to remove them after the harvest.
Thinning
Thinning is applied to sites that are overstocked with trees. By harvesting part of the tract, the remaining forest stand will grow faster. Trees that are harvested during a thinning operation can be used to make paper or building products.

In addition, these thinning timber sales reduce shade and erode the moist, cool conditions associated with mature forests. As a result, they create hotter, drier conditions on the ground, making the forest more susceptible to unnaturally severe forest fires.
