Publication: Spatial distribution of the potential forest biomass availability in Europe
/0 Comments/in News, WP7 /by TECH4EFFECTEuropean forests are considered a crucial resource for supplying biomass to a growing bio-economy in Europe. This study aimed to assess the potential availability of forest biomass from European forests and its spatial distribution. We tried to answer the questions (i) how is the potential forest biomass availability spatially distributed across Europe and (ii) where […]

/0 Comments/in News, WP3 /by TECH4EFFECTCompared with purpose-built units, excavator-based harvesters offer many advantages, but they consume more fuel. Fuel efficiency can be increased by a better interface between the excavator and the harvester head. Spinelli et al from CNR just published testing results of a new adaptation kit in Forests 2019 (10(1), 43; https://doi.org/10.3390/f10010043). The kit is specifically designed […]

SGGW field trip for silviculture case study
/0 Comments/in News, WP2 /by TECH4EFFECTPartners from SGGW visited case study areas for the silvicultural work package (WP2) in the Polanów Forest District to identify most productive silvicultural systems, techniques and technologies and assess them. This State Forest District is located in the northern part of Poland, with about 91,000 m3 of wood harvested annually, mainly pine, beech, spruce and […]
First public deliverable: Identifying and extending key silvicultural systems
/0 Comments/in News, WP2 /by TECH4EFFECTThe silviculture work package (WP2) focuses on the optimization of the access to wood resources. This goal involves two main aspects: The evaluation of appropriate silvicultural operations, and The application of appropriate harvesting techniques – aiming at the promotion of mechanized systems wherever possible. Appropriate silvicultural measures are principally intended to increase wood production, maintain […]

Field tests: forest road bearing capacity
/0 Comments/in News, WP3 /by TECH4EFFECTWhat´s going on under your truck wheel? BOKU is preparing for field tests in the North of Austria. Special soil sensors have been burried to investigate the impact of harsh weather conditions on forest road bearing capacity. High resolution soil parameters and weather data are captured and transmitted to BOKU for analysis, contributing to work […]
Two new partners in TECH4EFFECT!
/0 Comments/in Allgemein, News /by TECH4EFFECTConfirming the high relevance of research and innovation in TECH4EFFECT, two additional organisations have recently joined the TECH4EFFECT consortium. The Department of Forest Work Science and Engineering from the University of Goettingen (Germany) is continuing the work previously done at Freiburg University on timber harvesting and site impact. The South African Stellenbosch University is a […]
