Digital transformation of the timber supply chain is more relevant at present than ever before. Timber tracking one example digital transformation, and can be performed in various locations, from forest to mill, or even beyond, final product. The integration new technologies forestry industries should contribute enhancing efficiency safety. For this purpose, a processing system was tested by in...

Large old trees are critically important keystone structures in forest ecosystems globally. Populations of these trees are also in rapid decline in many forest ecosystems, making it important to quantify the factors that influence their dynamics at different spatial scales. Large old trees often occur in forest landscapes also subject to fire and logging. However, the effects on the risk of col...

Irier Protection Forest in Sewan Village has an area of 750 ha which is included the Sarmi Lintas Mamberamo Raya KPHP area. This study aims to determine carbon stock value forest vegetation. The method location using purposive sampling with line transect density Furthermore, calculation stocks stored calculated allometric equations. results showed that Protected Area 21 trees belonging 14 fami...

/ Spatially explicit models that combine remote sensing with geographic information systems (GIS) offer great promise to land managers because they consider the arrangement of landscape elements in time and space. Their visual and geographic nature facilitate the comparison of alternative landscape designs. Among various activities associated with forest management, none cause greater concern t...

Determining the exact position of a forest inventory plot—and hence the position of the sampled trees—is often hampered by a poor Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signal quality beneath the forest canopy. Inaccurate geo-references hamper the performance of models that aim to retrieve useful information from spatially high remote sensing data (e.g., species classification or timber volu...

Current research at the laboratory for timber construction IBOIS at EPFL focuses on shell structures. Two main families are investigated: shells made of linear elements, as timber rib shells, and shells made of surface elements, typically folded plate structures. With regard to timber rib shells, bent linear timber elements are used to create the shape of a shell. With folded plate structures, ...

An econometric analysis was conducted with the intent of discovering the relationship between contractual provisions, as specified in timber sale notices, with high bids received for those timber sales. Specifically, the goal of this study was to determine the relationship between high bids for timber tracts and certain contractual stipulations that have not previously been explored to any grea...

Native Monterey pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) forests are currently found at three disjunct locations in coastal California and on two islands off the coast of Mexico. The mainland forests comprise, in total, approximately 4,500 ha (11), whereas the two island populations are limited to 150 ha on Cedros Island and fewer than 400 trees on Guadalupe Island (28). Collectively, these populations are ...

Breeding of sugi (Cryptomeria japonica) started with the selection first generation plus-trees in 1950s Japan. The initial aim breeding program was to improve growth performance, and has been extended tolerance adverse meteorological conditions, amelioration wood properties, mitigation pollinosis, adaptation climate change. These changes have arisen response shifts social demands from timber pr...

Abstract Lignin is a polyphenolic compound found in plant tissues, especially wood and bark. The lignin content determines the quality of biochar agroecological uses, used production synthetic resins adhesives. Despite its importance physiology agricultural industrial utility, there exists wide gap knowledge contents tropical hardwood trees South Asia, except for few species. We present here fi...
