An integrated study of mechanical forest fuel reduction: quantifying multiple factors at the stand level

Creator:

Bolding, Michael Chad, 1977-

Abstract:

Recent catastrophic wildfires have forced the forest management community to develop new strategies for reducing forest fuels. Tightly spaced understory trees often create a fire ladder allowing surface fires to encroach into the crowns of overstory trees. This situation can lead to intensive, catastrophic, stand-replacement forest fires. Mechanical removal or...

Analysis and operational considerations of biomass extraction on steep terrain in western Oregon

Creator:

Flint, Benjamin R.

Abstract:

The development of bioenergy from biomass has dominated the minds of forest engineering researchers over the last decade. One of the main themes that has been generated from that research is that bioenergy from biomass has major operational hurdles to overcome before becoming economically feasible. More directly, the impact of...
