Silviculture and other forestry activities

NACE v2.1 Code: A02.10

About silviculture and other forestry activities

NACE code 02.10 covers a vital industry within the broader forestry and logging sector. Silviculture and other forestry activities encompass the cultivation, management, and harvesting of forests and woodlands. This industry plays a crucial role in the sustainable use and conservation of natural resources, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of downstream industries while also contributing to environmental protection and climate change mitigation efforts.

Production process

The key production techniques in this industry involve the planting, tending, and harvesting of trees and other forest vegetation. This includes activities such as site preparation, seedling cultivation, tree planting, thinning, pruning, and final harvesting. Specialized machinery and equipment, such as forestry tractors, harvesters, and skidders, are often utilized to optimize efficiency and minimize environmental impact during the various stages of the production process.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for silviculture and other forestry activities include land, seedlings or saplings, fertilizers, and various forestry equipment and tools. Access to suitable forestland, either owned or leased, is a fundamental requirement for this industry. Additionally, the availability of high-quality tree species and nursery stock is crucial for establishing and maintaining healthy forest stands. Ongoing maintenance and management of the forest also necessitate the use of specialized machinery, fuel, and other consumable supplies.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of this industry are various types of timber and wood products, including logs, pulpwood, and fuelwood. These outputs serve as inputs for a wide range of downstream industries, such as 16.10 Sawmilling and planing of wood, 17.11 Manufacture of pulp, and 02.20 Logging. The industry also generates non-timber forest products, such as mushrooms, berries, and medicinal plants, which can be harvested and sold. Additionally, the forestry activities within this NACE code contribute to the provision of ecosystem services, such as carbon sequestration, biodiversity conservation, and recreational opportunities.
