Swedish term

hyggesvila

Swedish to English Tech/Engineering Forestry / Wood / Timber
Eftersom antalet snytbaggar minskar med hyggesåldern kan det ha en positiv effekt på plantöverlevnaden om man väntar några år med planteringen, så kallad hyggesvila.

I am improvising here with "harvesting breaks" (i.e. the time between felling/harvesting and replanting a clearcut), but I'm wondering if anyone has found the proper terms for this.
Proposed translations (English)
4 fallow period
3 +2 leave cut-over dormant
4 logging rest

@Michael Actually, 'fallow' would work...
Matt Bibby Feb 3, 2019:
Good call Deane, thanks for that. A logging break would be more of a 'HUGGNINGSvila', a hyggesvila is a rest period for the land area. Thanks again for a good explanation!
Deane Goltermann Feb 2, 2019:
Since this refers to the forest area after final felling/harvesting (hygge) I can't see how it could be a 'logging' or 'harvesting' break. The 'break', if any, is simply between final felling and planting seedlings to renew the forest. Still, I'm busy on a Saturday blasting tunnels in rock... other reading to do...
Matt Bibby Feb 2, 2019:
As Deane says there's a lot of reading about this. 'Logging break' seems to be quite common, also 'grace period', but harvesting break seems just as good as it's hard to determine if there's a standard term. See e.g. https://news.err.ee/99857/logging-break-comes-into-force-in-...

fallow period

"Fallow" is often used in other areas of agriculture and, in UK at least, for forestry- see the references.

leave cut-over dormant

Hygge is referred to as cut-over area/slash area/clear-cut area (and a few other things). This reference shows how the local experts discussed your term in Eng. "the cutover should therefore be left dormant" (last page of https://www.skogforsk.se/contentassets/ed61ec1c16bd46bcb2273... ).

But I haven't been able to find a specific term that is widely used, tho there's a lot of reading out there.
