Towards more sensitive forest operations– TECH4EFFECT conducted field trials with forwarders and flotation tracks
/0 Comments/in News, WP4 /by TECH4EFFECTThe 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 […]
Publication: Effects of intensified silviculture on timber production and its economic profitability under changing climatic conditions
/0 Comments/in News, WP2 /by TECH4EFFECTThe 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 […]
Publication: Sustainability impacts of increased forest biomass feedstock supply
/0 Comments/in News, WP7 /by TECH4EFFECTSustainably managed forests provide renewable raw material that can be used for primary/secondary conversion products and as biomass for energy generation. This paper 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 […]

Field test: Controlling of cable yarding operations
/0 Comments/in News, WP3 /by TECH4EFFECTBOKU and Konrad are working on enabling advanced operation progress monitoring and performance evaluation through pooling sensor information on cable yarders. The first field test has taken place during a downhill yarding operation with a Konrad Mounty 4000 yarder to test the system under real-life conditions, contributing to work package 3 – harvesting. Stay informed […]

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 […]
