| 1 | Productivity and energy balance of forest plantation harvesting in Uganda显示文摘The study evaluated the productivity and energy balance of the harvesting and the extraction of wood in plantation of exotic tree species, i.e., Pinus patula (Schiede ex Schlectendahl et Chamisso) and Cupressus lusitanica (Mill.). The harvesting and extraction operations concerned clear-cut felling on two different types of terrain (gentle and steep terrain) and two levels of pruning. The results show that cutting is not affected by the terrain gradient whereas the pruning condition shows a significant effect on the delimbing operation. The productivity of cutting is evaluated at 28.1 m3·d-1 for unpruned trees and at 30.2 m3·d-1 for pruned trees. For the extraction phase, rolling was significantly affected by terrain conditions. On steep terrain, the gross productivity can be evaluated at 22.5 m3·d-1 for an extraction distance of 40 m, while for the same distance on gentle terrain the productivity decreases to 14.1 m3·d-1 . As a result, the steep terrain condition showed higher energy efficiency, suggesting that it is the more efficient system of extraction. The productivity model and the energy balance resulting from the study provide a better understanding of the variables affecting motor-manual cutting and rolling extraction in exotic plantations in Uganda. | Hussein BALIMUNSI Stefano GRIGOLATO Rodolfo PICCHIO Kenneth NYOMBI Raffaele CAVALLI | 2012 | Forestry Studies in China2012，14，4： | 0 |
| 2 | Snow damages on trees of an uneven age in mixed broadleaf forests:effects of topographical conditions and tree characteristics显示文摘Snow damage on natural stands is an important problem concerning mountainous forest management.In the present research,the frequency and intensity of heavy snow damage on natural stands and the relationship of damages with characteristics of trees,stand and topography were studied in mountainous forests of northern Iran.A systematic sampling design was applied to the study area(140 ha),with 122 circular plots.The grid dimension was100 m and each plot area was 1000 m^2.The four types of snow damage to trees include:crown damage(8.6%),stem breakage(5.4%),uprooting(3.2%),and bending(1.4%).The frequency of crown damage grew with an increase inthe diameter at breast height(DBH),while the frequency of stem breakage,uprooting and bending decreased with an increase the DBH.The frequency of crown damage,stem breakage,and total damages was related to tree species(p<0.01).Not all tree species were equally susceptible to snow damage.The amount of damage grew with increasing elevation and slope angle and decreased with increasing soil depth.Young trees(DBH<25 cm)were more susceptible to snow damage than other trees.Snow damage decreased by as the trees in the stand became more mixed in age.The susceptibility of trees to snow damage increased by height and slenderness coefficient.With adequate silvicultural operation,snow damage can be reduced to a minimum level in these natural forests. | Farzam Tavankar Angela Lo Monaco Mehrdad Nikooy Rachele Venanzi Amireslam Bonyad Rodolfo Picchio | 2019 | Journal of Forestry Research2019，30，4： | 0 |
| 3 | Stumpage value in the short wood system for the conversion into high forest of a oak coppice显示文摘This study aims to analyze the factors affecting the costs of different logging systems, in particular considering three different bunching-extraction methods. Moreover the stumpage value of each plot was calculated, and a comparison analysis of the results is presented. The work was carried out in Central Italy, in an aged Quercus cerris L. coppice in hill zones, with a 45% average slope. Short wood system harvesting was applied. Felling and processing were performed by chainsaw, while extraction with three different methods: plot No. 1 with mules, plot No. 2 with a tractor with winch, plot No. 3 with polyethylene chute line. Transport of firewood from the forest track to the landing was made by a tractor loaded as a mule. In the plot No. 1 the costs per unit mass (30.76 €·t 33% -1 ) were higher despite having the lower cost per hour (39.99 €·h -1 ). The reason was the lower productivity (1.3 t 33% ·h -1 ). The plot No. 2 had the highest cost per hour (66.79 €·h -1 ). However, productivity was the highest (2.7 t 33% ·h -1 ). This aspect was notable from the financial point of view (24.74 €·t 33% -1 ). Plot No. 3 was the less expensive (23.92 €·t 33% -1 ). Comparing the three methods, a reduction of the costs through more appropriate extraction systems may increase the stumpage value from 8.3 to 9.65 €·t 33% -1 . | Rodolfo PICCHIO Raffaello SPINA Mauro MAESANO Francesco CARBONE Angela LO MONACO Enrico MARCHI | 2011 | Forestry Studies in China2011，13，4： | 0 |
| 4 | Effect of moisture on physical parameters of timber from Turkey oak (Quercus cerris L.) coppice in Central Italy显示文摘This study aims to investigate wood density at different levels of moisture, basic density and shrinkage of timber from Turkey oak (Quercus cerris L.) coppice forests growing in Central Italy. We also studied the variability in density in the trees within and among sites. Density shows no significant statistical differences in the tested population. A higher variability in the shrinkage than in the density was found. Wood moisture is referred to as dry mass and fresh mass, which is related to many performance characteristics of wood, i.e., energy production. Trends in moisture and water content were studied because these physical parameters play an important role in the specific area of firewood which requires an accurate estimation of mass, volume and energy content. This work is a contribution to improve xylo-energy estimates of small and medium forestry issues. | Angela LO MONACO Luigi TODARO Mara SARLATTO Raffaello SPINA Luca CALIENNO Rodolfo PICCHIO | 2011 | Forestry Studies in China2011，13，4： | 0 |
