The purpose of the article is to determine the value of losses resulting from salvage cutting of stands and to estimate the amount of extraordinary costs and profits from the sale of removed wood in forests damaged by a wind−storm that occurred on June 17, 2016 in the Supraśl Forest District (NE Poland). We obtained the following data from the State Forests Information System: the size of disaster...
The research concerned the implementation of tasks in the field of harvesting timber in 2008−2012 in pure pine stands aged 10−140. Numerical data from the SILP database were used for calculating the average price of timber in the intermediate harvest. The data on the volume harvested covered late cleaning, early thinning and late thinning. The assortment structure concerned the following groups of...
The objective of the study was to identify and analyze long−term trends as well as cyclic, seasonal, and irregular effects in timber volume and prices by means of time series decomposition. The adopted multiplicative model was the product of all the time series components identified using the Census X11 method. The study material consisted of quarterly data on the volume and prices of timber sold...
The issues of timber logging are not only of natural, but also of legal nature. A complicated procedure related to the certification of wood is required to ensure that wood can be subject to a course of trade. Wood trade is regulated by the national law. However, it is also delimited in the European Union legislation, which is extremely important in the context of Poland’s EU membership. The legality...
The State Forests in Poland operate according to the principles of sustainable forest management combining and fulfilling diverse functions. Wood production is one of them. In this context, the question arises whether the species composition of forest stands has a greater impact on timber sales than the optimization of the assortment structure of harvested timber. The aim of the paper is to present...
The structure of timber sales in forest districts of the Białowieża Forest in the years 2008−2015 is presented. The Białowieża Forest is one of the most valuable natural areas in Europe. The data from the reports generated by the State Forests Information System of the Hajnówka, Browsk and Białowieża forest districts were used for the research. The information contained in the forest management plans...
Harvested timber has many various wood defects. Analyses were carried out on material collected in Zaporowo Forest District (northern Poland). Results show that various defects were found in 35% of harvested timber on average. The share of timber with defects varied among individual species (pine – 44%, spruce – 22%, oak – 14%, birch – 9%, beech – 5%, lime and larch – 2% each, hornbeam and alder –...
The State Forests National Forest Holding that manages 77.1% of the forests in Poland intend to harvest over 40 million m³ of timber, which is supposed to supply the demand from some thousand timber processing companies. Introduction of a new normative for determination of the timber load weight as a result of multiplication its volume and wood density significantly changed timber transport regulations...
Timber hauling from the forest, either directly to the consumer or to the place of transshipment for a rail transport, is carried out by vehicles adapted to the transport of long or short logs and medium−sized wood. In Poland, regulations restrict the total weight of a vehicle traveling on roads, which consists of the weight of the empty vehicle and the weight of the load. When transporting the wood,...
Since many years much attention has been paid to the rationality of wood transportation criteria due to the realization of social objectives. Identification and elimination of unnecessary haulage can reduce the total cost of transport and contribute to reducing fuel consumption, carbon dioxide emissions and accident risk. This paper concerns decision support for the allocation of available wood as...
