Estimates of dead and down woody material (DWM) biomass are important for nutrient cycling, wildlife habitat assessment, fire effects climate change science. Most methods used to sample initially assess volume then estimates wood density convert biomass. To initial decomposition rate, this study examined in situ lodgepole pine logs at the Tenderfoot Creek Experimental Forest (TCEF), central Mon...

This paper seeks to answer the question of whether magnitude vibrations affecting whole body harvester operator (WBV) that are generated by boom is affected size processed trunk volume, specify closer, WBVs during forest logging, and localise these in individual partial operations. For purposes, production process, i.e., was divided into six operations (Searching; Felling; Processing; Unproduct...

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...
