In the context of the first and second Swiss National Forest Inventory (LFI), methods were developed to assess the effects of game-browsing on forest regeneration. Since the results of the LFI-1-method are closely related to the season the assessment was carried out, and the results obtained by the LFI-2-method overestimate the annual browsing rate, we propose a new procedure, which produces an unbiased estimation of the annual browsing rate from a single, non-destructive assessment.
