This pandemic also affected the amount of costs incurred from teak harvesting process. Based on previous research, we tried to compare arising during pandemic. On other hand, Cost analysis community aims analyse by at each process, starting felling, skidding, transportation stages, both in self-managed systems and wholesale systems. Data were collected through observation interviews which then ...

An experiment conducted as part of the multidisciplinary National Fire and Fire Surrogate Study was designed to determine effects of three fuel reduction techniques on small mammals and habitat structure in the southern Appalachian mountains. Four experimental units, each >14-ha were contained within each of three replicate blocks at the Green River Game Land, Polk County, NC. Treatments were (...

Background: The traditional approach to limiting impacts of forestry on biodiversity is to set aside forest areas of particular conservation interest, either as formally protected reserves or on a voluntary basis. Many set-asides are left more or less untouched, but some of them have a history of disturbances such as wildfires, forest grazing, coppicing or small-scale felling. Such areas may gr...

We used a physically based ecohydrological model to predict the water balance and growth responses of a mountain ash (Eucalyptus regnans F. Muell.) forest catchment to clear-felling and regeneration. The model, Topog-IRM, was applied to a 0.53 km(2) catchment for a 3-year pretreatment period, and a 20-year period following clear-felling and reseeding of 78% of the catchment area. Simulations we...

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...

Nacrtak Mechanized felling was introduced in Slovenia at the beginning of this decade, and before that Slovenian forestry relied on motor manual felling and tractor skidding or cable crane yarding. In this research we are dealing with wood forwarding. Model skidding maps were built, using terrain classification and decision support systems for forwarders and tractor trailers. The purpose of thi...
