  • Using Acoustic Measurements and Inventory Data to Estimate Stiffness in Standing Douglas-Fir Trees

    Creator:
    Delgado Trejo, Jorge Luis
    Abstract:
    Total US lumber production in 2011 was 77.9 million cubic meters. Its primary use was for housing and construction. There is a growing concern that the structural properties for wood are being reduced as trees are harvested at much younger ages as the wood supply shifts from older to younger...

  • Spatially-explicit prediction of recoverable harvesting residues

    Creator:
    Schmidt, Christian F. W.
    Abstract:
    In order to decide whether or not to develop biomass energy facilities and where to best locate them, developers and investors need accurate assessments of fuel supply. This includes information about the distribution and concentration of fuel throughout the assessment area, the quality of fuel (form, moisture content, contaminant content,...

  • Evaluation of six tools for estimating woody biomass moisture content

    Creator:
    Becerra Ochoa, Fernando Amador
    Abstract:
    Woody biomass transportation costs and market values/costs are strongly correlated with the woody biomass moisture content. Properly managing moisture content can potentially lead to economic and environmental advantages in biomass energy markets. Good management requires accurate moisture content measurements. Therefore, availability of accurate, precise, reliable, and efficient tools to assess...
