Malaysia

Description

[Synopsis]

To reduce harvesting impacts of selective cutting operations in tropical natural forests, we are conducting the following studies; 1. Examination of soil compaction caused by bulldozer logging operations, and the effect of controlled felling direction, 2. Development of new cable yarding system using mobile tower yarder, which has an advantage in harvesting impacts over conventional system.
