Abstract
Prerequisite for a sustainable fulfilment of timber and non-timber functions of forests is the knowledge of criteria and indicators describing the state and dynamics of forest ecosystems at the landscape level. Without this knowledge, a conversion of Agenda 21 and the Helsinki-process into practical management is impossible. However, besides the important basic scientific duty of determining suitable criteria for the different functions of the forests, much emphasis has to be put into the transfer of data from sample plot investigations and field studies to other areas (regionalization).
