Planning Forest Opening with Forest Roads
Croatian Journal of Forest Engineering, 2013 The article presents the model for determining inaccessible forest areas by density of forest roads. The model is based on the GIS analysis of the distances between the existing network of public and forest roads and inaccessible forest areas, sizes of ...

Improving drainage conditions of forest roads using the GIS and forest road simulator [PDF]
Journal of Forest Science, 2020 In this study a new method of locating culverts is presented with the composition of achieved discharge from hydrological analysis and simulated forest roads in RoadEng 3D simulator to improve drainage condition. Locating culverts was performed on a small scale (1:20 000, using GIS) and large scale (1:2 000, road geometric design simulator).

Influence of storage on properties of wood chip material
Journal of Forest Science, 2017 The use of bioenergy for district heating is usually seasonal with a high consumption during the cold periods. Therefore some type of the harvested material storage is necessary. Woody materials are usually reduced in size to chips and stored outdoors in

The effect of roads on spider monkeys' home range and mobility in a heterogeneous regenerating forest [PDF]
, 2017 Arboreal fauna living in tropical ecosystems may be particularly affected by roads given their dependency on forest cover and the high vulnerability of such ecosystems to changes. Over a period of 4 yr, we followed subgroups of spider monkeys living in a
