Breakage and Defect Volume Losses in a Ponderosa Pine Stand

Puntos clave

Breakage and defect volume losses were significant in ponderosa pine timber sales.
Overall, defects varied between species, with specific differences noted in ponderosa pine and Douglas fir.
The study assessed both visible and invisible losses occurring in timber across the Payette National Forest.
Understanding avoidable and unavoidable losses can guide better practices in timber sales.

Resumen

Abstract A change from log scale to tree measurement in timber sales requires an appraisal of possible losses due to breakage and defects, both visible and invisible. This paper presents the result of a study of losses occurring in a stand over three-fourths of which was ponderosa pine and the remainder Douglas fir and lowland white fir on the Payette National Forest. Contrasts between species, between defects within a species, and avoidable and unavoidable losses are brought out.
