Assessing the Economic Viability of the Mechanized Removal of Understory Beech during a Shelterwood Harvest

2022-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Beech bark disease is a pathogenic complex that has been spreading throughout the American beech’s range since the 1800s. A litany of negative consequences have manifested from the infestation of this disease, many of which deteriorate the ecological functions of forestland. This case study sought to analyze the cost structure for removing a recalcitrant beech understory via mechanized shelterwood harvesting. High...
