It is independent of the current management intensity, function of the forest, current management objectives and forest road infrastructure (except inaccessible forest). Pastured woodlands and (special) forest reserves with occasional timber harvesting are also classified as productive forest area.Proportin small enterprises (%)Share of enterprises in the forestry test enterprise network that do not meet the minimum required forest area per enterprise introduced with the statistic revision in 2015 (Jura 50-199 ha, Central Plain 50-149 ha, Prealps 50-249 ha, Alps 50-499 ha).Proportion enterprises 150-250 ha (%)Proportion of enterprises in forest enterprise network with a productive forest area between 150 and 250 hectares. By definition these can only be enterprises from the Jura and Central Plain.Proportion enterprises 251-500 ha (%)Proportion of enterprises in forest enterprise network with a productive forest area between 251 and 500 hectares. By definition these can only be enterprises from the Jura, Central Plain and Prealps.Proportion enterprises 501-1000 ha (%)Proportion of enterprises in forest enterprise network with a productive forest areabetween 501 and 1000 hectares.Proportion enterprises 1001-2000 ha (%)Proportion of enterprises in forest enterprise network with a productive forest area between 1001 and 1000 hectares.Proportion enterprises >2000 ha (%)Proportion of enterprises in forest enterprise network with a productive forest area greater than 2000 hectares.Forest road infrastructure (m/ha)Shows forest road infrastructure density in meters per hectare of productive forest area.Total timber harvesting (m3)Amount of total timber harvesting (felled use, standing use, stock changes).Felled tree use (m3)Amount of total felled tree use incl. changes in inventories.Felled coniferous tree use (m3)Amount of felled tree use incl. changes in inventories of coniferous trees.Felled deciduous tree use (m3)Amount of felled tree use incl. changes in inventories of deciduous trees.Standing tree use (m3)Amount of the total standing tree use.Standing coniferous tree use (m3)Amount of standing coniferous tree use.Standing deciduous tree use (m3)Amount of standing deciduous tree use.Management personnel per 1000 ha (Empl./1000ha)Number of management employees (leadership, planning) per 1000 hectares of productive forest area.Operative personnel per 1000 ha (Empl./1000ha)Number of operative employees (carrying out activities) per 1000 hectares of productive forest area.Personnel hours management (hrs/ha)Personnel hours per hectare of productive forest incurred by management personnel. For an interpretation of personnel hours the key figure always has to be considered in combination with the proportion of own contribution.Personnel hours operative (hrs/ha)Personnel hours per hectare of productive forest incurred by operative personnel. For an interpretation of personnel hours the key figure always has to be considered in combination with the proportion of own contribution.Proportion own contribution (%)The proportion of own contribution refers to the cost share of the total costs, which is generated by the own forest enterprise.

The reason for this is that certain operational services are not offset by corresponding revenues. This includes for example the maintenance of greeneries for the community, in which the forest enterprise is not reimbursed by the community, thus falsifying the result.Contribution margin Ib (CHF/ha)Revenues excluding production costs including changes in inventories of the product.Contribution margin I (CHF/ha)Contribution margin Ib incl. subsidies from the public sector.Contribution margin II (CHF/ha)Contribution margin I minus the netto costs for the infrastructure of the services.Contribution margin IV (CHF/ha)Contribution margin II minus the netto costs for real estate and facilities, as well as depreciation.Contribution margin V (CHF/ha)Contribution margin IV minus the netto costs for the administration, incl. the other revenues.
