S2Decisions to manage immature eastern hardwood stands on steep terrain must be based on an understanding of the impact of timber production costs on optimal rotation length and present net worth. Planners and managers can make improved decisions by knowing how the interaction of timber production and transportation costs affect individual stand management. Simulations with a complete systems model indicate that managers and planners must consider cable logging technology, transportation network standards, and transport vehicles. S3.

Book Description
This report provides a general overview of current log sort yard operations in the United States, including an extensive literature review and information collected during on-site visits to several operations throughout the nation. Log sort yards provide many services in marketing wood and fiber by concentrating, merchandising, processing, sorting, and adding value to logs. Such operations supply forest products firms with desired raw materials, which helps improve their bottom line by reducing the number of marginal logs processed. Ultimately, sorting logs leads to better use of the available timber resources. Successful log sort yards are self-sufficient and have well-established markets and a steady supply of wood. Log sort yard concepts and analyses described in this report have broad applications.
