Safe Work Method Statement - Dozer - Tree Felling
If there is no evidence of sawn-off tree stumps, log piles, sawn-off branches or regular gaps within woodland, and the trees are obviously more than 20 years old, then this statement is true. b. No current felling and removal but previously practised within the last 20 years, or felling...
felling limit at the end of the cutting cycle to the number of trees that already attained the diameter-felling limit before the cutting cycle; the threshold for recovery rate per species was fixed at 40% in Gabon and DRC and 50% in Cameroon); and (3) a minimum diameter-felling limit ...
1.4 m, (D) was measured prior to harvest. After felling, stump diameter, stump height, and total tree height (H) were recorded. Tree height was estimated in one case (the Class 4 tree from Plot A, Site 803) because the top of the tree broke during felling...
During a university class project related to climate change mitigation strategies, we utilized a university green space as a “living laboratory”
Safe Work Method Statement - Tree Felling using dozer
After tree felling, the crown was divided into 3 sections of equal length, and one average-sized live branch was selected subjectively from the middle of each section. The 3 sample branches were weighed together in the field and sampled to determine the average moisture of the living crown. ...
(1) The early assessment of wood quality, even while trees are standing, provides significant benefits for forest management, sales efficiency, and market diversification. Its definition cannot be in absolute terms but must always be linked to the materi
In Sweden, the harvesting of branches and tops were notified on 35–41% of the notified final fellings during the five years between 2015 and 2019, whereas stump harvesting was very uncommon [17]. Estimations of the future biomass potential in Sweden have shown that the harvesting of branches...
Work time was divided into positioning time (moving the machine, harvesting head positioning and felling), processing time and other (idle). Positioning took on average 52.6% of work time (50.4% for machine A, 53.9% for machine B; the difference being statistically significant: p = 0.002), ...
