| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study valuated profitability of forest management according to logging systems and bucking strategies, by creating harvest schedules of plantation forests including non-clearcutting regime. The first strategy uses a traditional logging system with cable yarders yielding high-value logs; the second, efficient strategy uses vehicle-based forestry machines to mass-produce regular logs. The two strategies were compared at a regional scale. They yielded similar harvests, although the efficient strategy required fewer person-days and generates greater profits than the traditional strategy.
