Removal was significantly higher due to damage from the spruce bark beetle. 6,103,000 m3 of timber was felled, of which 4,013,000 m3 of conifers and 2,089,000 m3 of non-conifers. The recorded removal represented 94% of the allowable removal under forest management plans.
Corrected data on the removals by ownership of the forest for 2014
Due to a mistake, we corrected the data on removals by ownership of the forest for 2014. It was a technical error, because we accidentally confused the categories other forests and private forests on the SI-STAT Data Portal.
The corrected data are published on the SI-STAT Data Portal. We apologize for the inconvenience.
