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 […]
