An invasive shrub, Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense Lour.), was removed from heavily infested riparian forests in the Georgia Piedmont in 2005 by mulching machine or chainsaw felling. Subsequent herbicide treatment eliminated almost all privet by 2007. Recovery of plant communities, return of Chinese privet, and canopy tree growth were measured on removal plots and heavily invaded control plot...

AbstractGlobally, about 20 million ha of land area is occupied by plantations Eucalyptus . Motor-manual tree harvest-ing techniques (using chainsaws) are still applied in eucalypt plantations, especially difficult terrains or for large- sized trees where mechanised felling may not be an effective and safe possible option to apply. There little information available on motor-manual stands. This ...

With cut-to-length harvesters, tree stems are measured and cut into different timber assortments at the time of felling. These measurement data collected from harvested trees can be used for decision-support levels forest industry chain also planning when combined with remote sensing data. The aim this study was to examine operational application predicting merchantable stem volume, basal area,...

Felling trees, which is the basis of forestry activities, dangerous and difficult work that needs to be performed carefully. These activities can affect forest workers’ safety, damage remaining forest, or reduce value extracted product. Most accidents injuries in operations occur due trees not falling desired direction.

The objects of research were forest plantations, passed through renovation rubles in the Arkhangelsk forestry region. Trial plots established spruce plantations (bilberry and sphagnum forest), on fresh haulage, apiary, old haulage after felling more than 30 years ago. Based results research, a model was built, with help which it is consistently assessed during course what happens to stand cutti...
