Debarking heads as a measure for fighting against bark beetle attacks - A detailed process analysis and potential assessment
Abstract
Growing calamities in Austrian forests lead to temporary peaks in available round wood on the market, which directly cause bottlenecks in terms of transportation and storage capacities from the forest to the mill. Decline in prices and potential economic losses in the following years reinforce searching for possible solutions to counteract this tight situation. An alternative for processing bark beetle affected timber could be debarking in fully mechanized harvesting operations using special constructed and adapted harvesting heads. Debarking is an extra process step at the skid road in the stand. The goal of this interdisciplinary project is to evaluate in detail the potential of debarking in fully mechanized harvesting operations in terms of forest engineering and forest protection including its effect on downstream processes along the supply chain.
