Two prototypes for medium rotation forestry harvesting

Ess Medium and High Beta Cavity Prototypes

In the framework of the ESS activity in progress at INFN-LASA, we are designing and developing 704.42 MHz Medium (β=0.67) and High (β=0.86) beta prototype cavities plug compatible with the ESS cryomodule design. The cells of one Medium and one High beta cavity are fabricated with high quality CBMM Large Grain Niobium (480 mm dia. Ingot, RRR=300, sliced by Heraeus) while a Medium beta cavity is ...

Study on Slash Pine (Pinus elliottii) as a Short Rotation Forestry in the North of Iran

Forests of Iran located on the Southern border of the Caspian Sea cover 1.9 million hectares. The Caspian forests are divided into four separate forestry areas. One of these being Guilan influx area with total area of 565000 hectares. About 30 to 40 percent of Guilan province forests are suitable to short rotation forestry for afforestation. Slash pine (Pinus elliottii) is one of the main exo...

Development of Sustainable Willow Short Rotation Forestry in Northern Europe

Socio-ecological implications of modifying rotation lengths in forestry

The rotation length is a key component of even-aged forest management systems. Using Fennoscandian forestry as a case, we review the socio-ecological implications of modifying rotation lengths relative to current practice by evaluating effects on a range of ecosystem services and on biodiversity conservation. The effects of shortening rotations on provisioning services are expected to be mostly...

Harvesting Systems and Costs for Short Rotation Poplar

The objective of this review is to compare the cost of coppice and longer rotation poplar harvesting technology. Harvesting technology for short rotation poplar has evolved over the years to address both coppice harvest and single-stem harvest systems. Two potential approaches for coppice harvesting are modified forage harvesters and modified mulcher-balers. Both of these systems effectively ha...
