Technodiversity Glossary
Technodiversity glossary is a result of the ERASMUS+ project No. 2021-1-DE01-KA220-HED-000032038.
The glossary is linked with the project results of Technodiversity. It has been developed by
Jörn Erler, TU Dresden, Germany (project leader); Clara Bade, TU Dresden, Germany; Mariusz Bembenek, PULS Poznan, Poland; Stelian Alexandru Borz, UNITV Brasov, Romania; Andreja Duka, UNIZG Zagreb, Croatia; Ola Lindroos, SLU Umeå, Sweden; Mikael Lundbäck, SLU Umeå, Sweden; Natascia Magagnotti, CNR Florence, Italy; Piotr Mederski, PULS Poznan, Poland; Nathalie Mionetto, FCBA Champs sur Marne, France; Marco Simonetti, CNR Rome, Italy; Raffaele Spinelli, CNR Florence, Italy; Karl Stampfer, BOKU Vienna, Austria.
The project-time was from November 2021 until March 2024.

Motor-manual methodIn Technodiversity, the total harvesting process normally is seen as a combination of several sub-processes. Each sub-process has a certain degree of mechanization. The degree of mechanization of the total method is given by the combination of these single degrees. There are five degrees of mechanization: (fully) manual method, partly motor-manual method, (fully) motor-manual method, partly mechanized method, fully mechanized method. If both sub-processes are done by motor-manual work, the total process is a fully motor-manual method (or simpler: motor-manual method). Examples are seldom; in practice we sometimes see a chainsaw and a motor-manual winch. (See more under TDiv PR1-B04 and B05)

Motor-manual workThe term machine work describes the level of mechanization of a technical operation. Other levels are manual work and mechanized work. Because manual work is tiresome, people have always looked for some external source of power. In modern times, the obvious step is to use an engine to drive the tool – hence the appearance of portable machines. In forestry we call that „motor-manual work“ (an original forest definition that describes the situation well). Typical examples of motor-manual work are the work with a chainsaw or with a brush cutter. (See more at TDiv PR1-B04)
