31 Conclusions Utilising the forest causes mineral withdrawal from the environment Limiting the harvesting scope to stem wood with the bark would significantly decrease mineral withdrawal Leaving the bark in the forest would especially save the calcium the question of practice and costs
32 Conclusions Stump lifting comparing to utilising aboveground parts of the tree does not increase the mineral loss significantly but serious considerations need to be made regarding physical damage to the soil.
