Factors influencing residual stand damage levels due to cable thinning of coniferous stands in western Oregon

Creator:

Caccavano, Michael P.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine the significant variables influencing the damage levels sustained by the residual stand after skyline thinning of coniferous stands. Damage levels were measured in ten study areas in western Oregon that had received their first commercial thinning. For this post-logging study, 38 units...

Capstone Project
A study of soil disturbance and compaction resulting from the use of ground-based logging vehicles in the Sierra Nevada

Creator:

Lysne, David Holtan

Abstract:

Some results of a study conducted in the Sierra Nevada Mountains west of Lake Tahoe are reported. The study measured soil impacts resulting from the use of a Caterpillar Tractor model D6D, a John Deere wheeled skidder model JD-640, and an FMC Corporation model FMC 21OCA logging vehicle. The three...

Identification of variables influencing residual stand damage from skyline thinning of young western hemlock-Sitka spruce stand

Creator:

Hargrave, Michael A.

Abstract:

Western hemlock and Sitka spruce are relatively thin- barked species and susceptible to damage during thinning operations. Damage to the wood allows decay-causing fungi to enter resulting in loss of merchantable volume at the time of final harvest. Cable yarding systems are needed for much of the thinning because most...

Soil compaction on a mechanized timber harvest operation in eastern Oregon

Creator:

Zaborske, Richard R.

Abstract:

The use of mechanized harvest equipment has been increasing as an economical method to harvest small diameter timber. While the use of this equipment is increasing, little is known about associated soil compaction. In particular, little information exists on soil compaction caused by feller--bunchers. This study measured soil compaction caused...

Capstone Project
Shovel logging and soil compaction : a case study

Creator:

Floch, Rick F.

Abstract:

Shovel logging is a relatively new ground-based method of yarding tinther. It involves moving logs from stump to landing by successive swinging with a hydraulic excavator modified into a log loader by replacing the shovel bucket with a grapple. Loaders used in shovel yarding can weigh in excess of 100,000...
