Logging and Pulpwood Production / Edition 2

by George Stenzel, Thomas A. Walbridge Jr., J. Kenneth Pearce

Overview

Designed to work effectively both as a manual for the logging industry and as a textbook for timber harvesting courses. The sequence of the chapters on logging and associated activities coincides with the consecutive steps in logging—from acquiring the timber through its final transport. This Second Edition emphasizes environmental considerations—such as the increasing need to reduce excessive soil movement and subsequent siltation.
