Optimal Forest Harvesting with Ordered Site Access
Studies in Applied Mathematics, 1983A long‐standing problem in forestry management is the optimal harvesting of a growing population of trees to maximize the resulting discounted aggregate net revenue. For an ongoing forest, the trees are harvested and replanted repeatedly; for a once‐and‐for‐all forest, there is no replanting after a single harvest.

Breeding bird response to riparian forest harvest and harvest equipment
Forest Ecology and Management, 2003Abstract We examined response of breeding bird communities to timber harvest in riparian areas using two harvest techniques (full tree harvest and cut-to-length (CTL)) along first to third order streams in northern Minnesota, USA. Although many studies have quantified bird response to riparian buffer harvest, we are unaware of any study that examined

Heterogeneity of Forest Harvest Residue from Eastern Ontario Biomass Harvests
Forest Products Journal, 2016Abstract The environmental and economic problems associated with the use of fossil-based fuels have encouraged a shift to abundant renewable resources, such as forest residues. However, before forest residues can be used as an industrial resource, their properties must be known. This study determined the physical (moisture content, bulk density,

Future harvesting pressure on European forests
European Journal of Forest Research, 2006We provide quantitative insight in the spatial distribution of the future supply of wood as a raw material from European forests (27 countries) until 2060. This supply is tested for two scenarios: ‘projection of historical management’ and ‘new management trends’ and compared against a benchmark scenario.

Genetic Algorithms for Forest Harvest Adjustment
2009 ETP International Conference on Future Computer and Communication, 2009Genetic algorithms, owning to their characteristics of intrinsic parallel mechanism and full optimization, can be used to search for solutions for objective programming. In this study, empirical study method was combined with the multi-objective optimization to develop a multi-objective forest harvest adjustment model by introducing Pareto multi ...

Harvesting elevation potential from mountain forests
International Journal of Forest Engineering, 2018For a limited set of conditions we have shown that recovering braking energy from log trucks descending from high elevation stands to lower elevation manufacturing facilities can reduce the size of the battery required to run a log truck. Adding level highway hauls after descending from the higher elevation stands quickly increases the required battery

Future harvest: what might forest harvesting entail 25 years hence?
Scandinavian Journal of Forest Research, 2011Abstract A review of current literature offers a basis for forecasting some future trends in forest harvesting. It is likely that major gains will be achieved through closer integration between informatics and harvesting technology. New sensing technology will allow harvesting machines to better optimise both vehicle movements and handling of harvested

Technological innovation in forest harvesting
2014Scholars in science and technology studies have long been concerned with a variety of issues revolving around technological change, such as explaining the origins of technological innovation and arguing for or against technological determinism. This thesis reviews a number of theoretical models developed by historians, philosophers, sociologists, and ...
