Precision Forestry: Operational Tactics For Today And Tomorrow
نویسنده
چکیده
The term “Precision Forestry” is being used more frequently in the forest products industry. This paper defines two broad categories of precision forestry as 1) using geospatial information in forest management and planning, and 2) site-specific silvicultural operations. One case study is presented for site-specific application of herbicides and fertilizers in herbaceous weed control activities. In this case study, the operational characteristics and application costs are discussed for a new machine capable of applying both broadcast and banded herbicides and fertilizers. When compared to conventional systems, the precision forestry techniques reduced herbaceous weed control costs by as much as 47% and chemical use by one-third.
