Abstract
Central European forestry has oriented itself toward sustainability for more than 200 years. Opinions regarding the principles involved, however, underwent significant changes during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and today there is no consensus as to what can be considered a “correct” standard of Sustainable Forest Management (SFM). Rather, SFM is seen to be the result of a social bargaining process, which – in turn – is strongly dependent on social and political circumstances.
