Selective logging in the tropics results carbon emissions but also creates favourable environmental conditions for regeneration of tree species and recovery. We evaluate recovery biomass selectively logged forests impacted by timber harvesting on Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico. Fieldwork was conducted two annual cutting areas 2001 2009. Plots were established felling, skidding log landing sites. Reg...

Cut-to-length (CTL) timber harvesting technology currently accounts for approximately 90% of Caspian forests. The technology involves felling, branching, cross-cutting, and then the skidder carries the logs to a landing, where the timber is temporarily stored, sorted and assembled for transportation to the mill. Cut-to-length systems typically require less labor, less access road construction, ...

Nacrtak The purpose of the study was to examine the ability of LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) to derive terrain slope over large areas and to use the derived slope data to model the effect of slope on the productivity of a self-levelling feller-buncher in order to predict its productivity for a wide range of slopes. The study was carried out for a self-levelling tracked feller-buncher in a...

the log damage and value loss were examined by felling and bucking function, species, and damage type, in kheyrud forest in namkhaneh district in the hyrcanian forest of iran. in order to calculate the wood value following tree felling and bucking, 250 trees and 167 logs consisting of beech and hornbeam species were measured. there were five types of damage recorded following the tree felling o...

Features of Spatial Snag Distribution in a Beech-Fir Forest With the participation of about 65% in the total growing stock of conifers, silver fir is the most important andthe best represented conifer species in Croatia. The increasing share of sanitary felling in the annual felling plansdemands that special attention be paid to the health status of fir forests and the quantity of unpla...

Changes in aboveground and forest floor mass, carbon (C), and nitrogen (N) pools were quantified on three sites in the southern Appalachians 2 yr after felling and burning. Before felling and burning, stands were characterized by sparse overstories and dense Kalmia latifolia L. understories. Two years after burning, foliar C and N pools had reached 25% and 29% of pretreatment levels, respective...
