| Definition | High forest (de: Hochwald) is a type of woodland where tree growth originated from self-seeded or planted seedlings and developed in an erect form of the stem. In contrast to a low forest (coppice forest, see above), a high forest in a grown-up stage usually consists of tall, mature trees with a closed canopy. High forests can occur naturally or they can be the result of a plantation and maintenance process. Under human forest management, two form of high forest exist, the parcel-based high forest, or the Plenter forest (see also silvicultural harvesting and regeneration methods) |
