Thinning with prescribed fire and timber harvesting mechanization for fuels reduction and forest restoration

Creator:

Matzka, Peter J.

Abstract:

In the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon, prescribed fire and mechanical harvesting economics were investigated for fuels reduction and forest restoration. Using a cut-to-length harvesting system, three single-grip harvesters and three forwarders produced significantly different production rates. For the harvesters, significant variables that affected production rates were found to be:...
