Transportation of comminuted (processed) woody biomass from the production site to a utilization point is one most costly operational components in feedstock procurement. This study identified potential sources based on transportation cost which three power plants Humboldt County, California, could economically obtain their supply. We conducted service area and location-allocation network analyses for timberlands sawmills, respectively, created inclusive exclusive networks model zones...
Automated methods for capturing geometric and spectral properties of individual tree crowns are becoming increasingly viable options use in natural resource planning. Crown isolation techniques needed that capable adapting to the changing availability resolutions remotely sensed data. Data integration, or fusion two distinct data entities, offers a methodological framework can compensate shortcomings datasets while enhancing their desirable features. This study sought develop method...
The goal of this study was to develop a decision rule heuristic that would incorporate theories forest stand dynamics and crown competition into an automatic detection size search algorithm. Specifically, we sought new multi-dimensional template matching methods fused with knowledge-based rules model spatial considerations for multi-scale assessment criteria appraisal at the stand, local neighbourhood individual levels. approach tested on mature mixed coniferous deciduous typical southern...
Successful regeneration of commercial species is central to the long-term sustainability forests managed for wood production. We studied two tree seedlings planted after group selection and single-tree harvesting in a 20 ha replicated silviculture experiment stands dominated by coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens (D.Don) Endl.). Treatments consisted complete harvest 1 opening (GS), low-density dispersed retention (LD), aggregated high-density (HA), (HD). One year planting, on southwest...
