Plants natural regeneration is a means to forest recovery after disturbances in particular ecosystem. Forest any ecosystem depends on the growth stages of tree species. This study assessed species potential disturbed Image Reserve. An assessment was carried out 170 sample plots 20 m x 40 each that were established three different land cover types, namely (67 plots), woodland (65 and wooded gras...

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...

The negative influence of timber harvesting on the forest environment is reflected through damage to residual trees, regeneration, and soil. Considering that skidding, a popular extraction method, can cause substantial severe remaining stand, aim this research was determine trees during skidding by an LKT 81T cable skidder, including oxen bunching. conducted in eastern Bosnia Herzegovina, uneve...
