Ecological and Economical Aspects of Felling with Use of Multi-operational Felling Machines and Machinery

Abstract

In this article, we consider influences of forestry equipments on pine tree plantation from a view point of ecology and economy. We investigate damages on trees after harvester felling, that is, inclination of growing trees, stripping barks, cutting branches and trunks and scrapping fallen leaves and branches. The object is to maintain clean pineries. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014.
