Carbon Footprint of Forest Operations under Different Management Regimes

摘要: Different forest management regimes have different carbon footprints due to alternative op erational strategies and options. Data concerning CO2 emissions (kg m –3 ) in felling, extraction, comminution transport operations, performed under two regime (close-to-nature plantation), were collected through a systematic literature review involving 162 scientific papers compiled into database. Results show that, within limits, operations plantations produce lower easier operational conditions, while transportation both close-to-nature plantation based reported the highest levels of emissions. Literature came from variety sources often differed context factors such as technology, work technique, operator skill environmental conditions. These been shown highly affect results obtained stud ies. Nevertheless, it has possible summarize most information gathered highlight representative driving throughout regimes.
