Technodiversity Glossary

Functiogram

• Very high productivity
• Perfect working site for driver
• Opportunity to recover biomass at low cost

• Storage place very quickly is full
• Therefore often together with any forwarder
• Risk for soil nutrient depletion 

• Where full trees are stored at forest road
• = at windthrow or at cable ways
• Standard option for modern cable-yarding operations

Economic suitability

Example:

• machine costs without personal costs: 160,00 Euro/h
• personal costs per person: 35,00 Euro/h
• number of persons: 1
• in total: 195,00 Euro/h
• regression line minutes per tree
  • b₀ = 0,5
  • b₁ (tree volume) = 1,7

Ecological suitability

Social suitability:

• S-class: processing on forest road -> S2
• E-class: advanced machine work, moderate -> E4
