Winch-assisted forwarders are more and more in use to extract wood on challenging terrain. In this BOKU study, the tensile force and the machine tilt of two winch-assisted forwarders were observed under real working conditions to assess safety risks. Read about the results in this CROJFE publication, which is now available open access: Read the […]

Forestalia is THE forestry trade fair in Italy, located in Piacenza from 26-27 of October 2019. This year will feature not only machine demonstrations and exhibitions, but also a TECH4EFFECT seminar organised by CNR-IVALSA and CONAIBO. Keep checking our updates for more info!
The TECH4EFFECT (Knowledge and Technologies for Effective Wood Procurement) project successfully conducted field trials near Rautavaara, Finland, on the impacts of different tracks and machines on the soil. The field tests were conducted during the last week of June 2019 by the project partners Luke, NIBIO and Ponsse in cooperation with contractors and their operators […]
The aim of this study by Routa et al. from LUKE was to examine how intensified silviculture affects timber production and its economic profitability based on forest ecosystem model simulations. The study was conducted on Norway spruce and Scots pine stands located on medium-fertile upland forest sites under middle boreal conditions in Finland, under current […]
Sustainably managed forests provide renewable raw material that can be used for primary/secondary conversion products and as biomass for energy generation. Tuomasjukka et al from EFI evaluated the economic, environmental and social sustainability impacts of making the potentially available timber available with current and technologically improved value chains. Their publication ‘Sustainability impacts of increased forest […]
