The southeastern United States has a promising source for renewable energy in the form of woody biomass. To meet the energy needs, energy plantations will likely be utilized. These plantations will contain a high density of small-stem pine trees. Since the stems are relatively small when compared with traditional product removal, the harvesting costs will increase. The purpose of this research ...

Abstract Purpose of Review Individual tree detection (ITD) methods and technologies for tracking individual forest products through a smart operational supply chain from stump to mill are now available. The purpose this paper is (1) review the related literature audiences not familiar with remote sensing (2) identify knowledge gaps in forestry operations research that these new data systems bec...

The results obtained in this article relate to the scientific and technological development of timber industry. main idea is based on possibility concentrating several forest plots designated for felling with different percentages cut components within a single cutting area. On logging site created way, skidding trails were laid, allowing entire range operations be carried out. shape such combi...

assessment and management of the environmental impacts of forest harvesting operations have become increasingly critical factors in practicing commercial forestry. this study investigated soil disturbance from a forest logging system operation on an 8-hectare mixed broadleaved stand in compartment no. 309 in gorazbon district in kheyrud educational and research forest. the objective of this stu...

Osteochondral lesions are drilled with the aim of stimulating the growth of new cartilage to cover the defect (Pnidie 1959). This may be performed at arthrotomy or anthroscopically, but arthroscopic drilling is far from standard practice. Performed percutaneously, arthroscopic drilling by Kirschner wire can be hindered by difficulty with accurate placement, skidding off sclerotic bone and entan...
