Justification for conserving the target species in the GCU
To maintain genetic diversity in large tree populations
To conserve specific adaptive and/or phenotypic traits in marginal or scattered tree populations which are often relatively small
To conserve rare or endangered tree species with populations consisting of a low number of remaining individuals
to conserve specific adaptive and/or phenotypic traits in populations/ and races of introduced species
Total number of reproducing trees
1 - 14
15 - 49
50 - 499

Clear-cutting with artificial regeneration (planting or seeding)
Clear-cutting with natural regeneration (seed trees or strips)
Shelterwood systems
Close-to-nature forestry (continuous cover forest, selective logging)
No silviculture
Population management
No intervention allowed
Minimum intervention allowed
Conservation through active intervention carried out
Unit type
