There has been a global increase in the demand for woody biomass in the last decade. The
imperative to achieve the highest production per unit of land while preserving natural forest …

Sažetak There has been a concerted shift from traditional motor-manual and semi-
mechanised timber harvesting systems to mechanised cut-to length (CTL) operations in …

Stem size has the greatest effect on harvester productivity, and stem sizes vary in a forest
stand. How these within-stand variations influence harvester productivity is normally not …

This paper deals with the use of debarking modifications of the conventional harvester head
in the conditions of felling due to bark beetle calamity. For this purpose, a time study was …

The impact of the manipulation of plantation stocking density on individual tree size can
affect final harvest costs and machine productivity. This paper investigated the impact of four …

Compared with purpose-built units, excavator-based harvesters offer many advantages, but
they also face one main limitation: a much higher fuel consumption, which also results in …

Forest harvesting planning requires careful analysis of the variables that influence machine
productivity. This information is crucial for better decision-making. Thus, we aimed to …

Productivity analysis in mechanized harvesting has traditionally relied on statistical expertise
and mathematical modeling. However, machine learning tools have emerged as a viable …

Sažetak There have been few comparative harvest system studies to provide a basis to
understand the performance and chip quality of harvest systems used in eucalypt …

The aim of this research was to determine the most productive tree-cutting methods, and the
factors influencing them, in flat and slo** terrains in tree plantations in Brazil. The study …
