Acceptance of woody biomass utilization in steep terrain through nutrient return during harvesting operations
Abstract
The project deals with nutrient-rich fine woodchip particles (mainly from needles and twigs) which are screened directly after chipping harvesting residues at the forest site. In this study, screens with different sieve diameter are tested. The fine material is used as a fertilizer in forest stands and will be spread out by an adapted ash spreader fixed to a carriage of a cable yarding system. The purpose of this project is to evaluate the technical feasibility and ecological benefits of sieving and spreading fine woodchips particles.
