LIST OF MAIN COMMERCIAL SPECIES, THEIR CODES AND STAR (EXPLOITATION) CLASS

The table below lists the main commercial species and their current minimum diameter (breast height) for felling. The star class is used to define the level of over-cutting or undercutting of the species. Scarlet coded species are being cut more than 200% of the levels believed to be sustainable, greater restrictions therefore apply in their cutting. Red Star species are being cut at a level of more than 50% of the annual allowable cut (AAC) but less than 200%. Pinks are being cut at less than 50% of the approved AAC. The remaining listed species are currently being cut only in small quantities. The mean tree volume is provided for interest.
