Analysis of Performance of Timber Harvesting With the Use of Highlander Harvester [PDF]

Agricultural Engineering, 2016
Abstract The paper presents the work performance analysis of timber harvesting with the use of Highlander harvester produced by KONRAD Forsttechnik GmbH. The analysis was performed based on the timing of the working day. We also assessed the organization of the machine operation in the research area and its functional capability.

SELECTIVE TIMBER HARVESTING AND WILD TURKEY REPRODUCTION IN WEST VIRGINIA

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 1995
: Little is known about the effects of selective timber harvesting on eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris). The rate of selective timber harvesting (high‐grading) on private lands in West Virginia is expected to more than triple by the ...

Applying the activity-based costing to cut-to-length timber harvesting and trucking

Silva Fennica, 2009
The supply chain of the forest industry has increasingly been adjusted to the customer’s needs for precision and quality. This has changed the operative environment both in the forest and on the roads.

Optimal Harvesting Strategies for Timber and Non-Timber Forest Products with Nonlinear Harvesting Terms

Symmetry
Forest resources are renewable, and the rational exploitation and utilization of forest resources are not only conducive to sustainable development on a population scale, they can also lead to higher economic benefits. Based on the actual timber harvest problem, this paper establishes the joint harvest model of timber and non-timber with nonlinear ...

Sustainable timber harvesting in Venezuela: a modelling approach [PDF]

Journal of Applied Ecology, 2001
Summary  Reliable data on the growth and yield of logged‐over forest, to determine sustainable cutting cycles, are widely missing for the tropics.  We used the process‐based model formind2.0 to analyse the growth and yield of logged‐over forest in Venezuela under different logging scenarios over a period of 240 years, and compared results with ...

Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

Structural and compositional responses to timber harvesting for an old-growth forest on Changbai Mountain, China - Short Communication

Journal of Forest Science, 2008
Broadleaved-Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis) mixed forest is a dominant native vegetation type in the eastern Eurasian Continent. We intended to examine the implications of high-intensity timber harvesting (ca 70% of stand volume) for the sustainable ...

To Harvest or Not to Harvest? An Analysis of Cutting Behavior on Federal Timber Sales Contracts [PDF]

The Review of Economics and Statistics, 1988
Economists have studied the environmental consequences and competitiveness of alternative sales techniques for publicly-owned na tural resources. Little attention has been paid, however, to fluctuat ions in revenues resulting from the "option" nature of public resourc e sales.

When Do Robots Go Green? Unveiling Mechanisms, Thresholds, and Spillovers of Industrial Robotics on Global Ecological Capacity

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the relationship between industrial robotics adoption and ecological capacity, measured by biocapacity, using panel data from 50 countries over the period 2000–2024. We investigate the transmission mechanisms, non‐linearities, spatial spillovers, and heterogeneity characterizing this relationship.

The Impact of Generative AI on the Perpetuation and Detection of Greenwashing in Sustainability Reports: Insights From an Experiment

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Our study, based around an experiment, examines the consequences when generative AI tools are used to create and assess sustainability disclosures. There are two key findings: (1) that generative AI greenwashes sustainability disclosures, with our study participants doing little to mitigate this, and (2) that our study participants viewed AI ...
