Portuguese term or phrase: sinistrada
In a document about the cost of harvested timber in Brazil I have the following:

O volume considerado de colheita foi de 3,35Mm³/ano, em florestas com 0,18 m³/árvore não sinistrada;

I cannot figure out what they mean by nao sinistrada... unfelled tree?

Thanks!

Salvage harvesting provides a number of advantages to private property owners. Most importantly, accumulated dead and damaged trees provide fuel for future fires, and their removal reduces the risk that additional fires will burn through the damaged area. Removal also reduces the spread of insects which proliferate in dead and damaged trees.
