An enhanced pricing model for truck transportation: a case study in Swedish forestry

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 775-797, March 2026.
Abstract Determining freight rates for heavy trucks involves a detailed analysis of multiple cost factors, including time, distance, fuel, and other operational costs, which collectively contribute to the overall compensation for transportation services. However, actual remuneration is based on more simplified agreements.

Applying of the NVIDIA CUDA to the video processing in the task of the roundwood volume estimation

ITM Web of Conferences, 2016
The paper is devoted to the parallel computing. The algorithm for roundwood volume estimation had insufficient performance so it was decided to port its bottleneck part on the GPU. The analysis of various GPGPU techniques was observed and the NVIDIA CUDA

Supply Potential and Cost of Residual Forest Biomass for New Industrial Applications in Sweden

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2026.
This work investigates the potential for logging residues (branches and tops that can be extracted during roundwood harvesting) to replace fossil‐based feedstocks and energy use in industry, using Sweden as a case study. To do so, this paper quantifies regional supply–demand balances for logging residues considering both current and possible future ...

Soil Recovery After Forest Operations in Fagus sylvatica L. Stands: Is a 5‐year Interval Long Enough?

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract This study evaluates the effects of ground‐based logging on soil properties and microarthropod biodiversity in Mediterranean beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) forests, with a focus on recovery over a 5‐year period. Fieldwork was conducted in three study areas in southern Italy to compare three site types: recently harvested (2021, NEW), harvested 5 ...

Water storage of roundwood

, 1987
Following the windthrows caused by the storm of November 1982 in the Massif Central region, particularly in the Auvergne, a number of sawmill owners in this region established large stockpiles. In order to protect them from insect or fungal attack, they chose water storage, either by ponding or sprinkler storage.

Analysis of Wood Defects in Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karsten) from Mixed Uneven-Aged Forest Stand

South-East European Forestry
Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karsten) is one of the most economically important conifer species in Europe. Efficient utilisation and processing of its wood require detailed knowledge of its technical properties, as well as the most common wood defects

A model for roundwood of planted forests

Advances in Forestry Science
The market prices wood in volume, mainly at the source, the forest, in the form of standing wood. In this way the forestry producer does not have the quantification of the wood products that can be extracted from the trees. The information on wood products, as well as their valuation, can help in a closer evaluation of the real value of the wood, for a

When do extraction rights help forests? Robustness and heterogeneity for linked interventions in the Peruvian Amazon

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 11, November 2025.
We ask whether shifting forest sensors, forest outcomes, and forest contexts adds insights concerning impacts upon forests from uncertified concessions and their eco‐certifications. Forest degradation data extend learning: uncertified concessions did not affect forest‐to‐degraded transitions yet they did lower degraded‐to‐deforested transitions ...
