¶ Concept paper on the felling machine of the future
Description: The focus of the project is the felling machine of the future, whose positioning and mobile laser
scanning systems improve the implementation of climate-resistant wood harvesting that takes
into account the diversity of forest nature. The work of the project supports the development of
precise forest management and tree harvesting, taking into account the valuable habitats of
forest nature and protected and conserved nature sites more precisely than before. The
technology to be studied supports the development of a method in which the driver can be guided to the forest treatment in connection with the location-specific logging, which best maintains and strengthens the carbon sinks and stores in the long term, as well as produces location- and volume-accurate information about the remaining trees and measures and documents the diversity of the harvesting footprint and forest nature at the logging site. The methods are suitable for producing more comprehensive information about the status and development of economic forests than before. This information can be used to produce more accurate and up-to-date information about changes in forest carbon sequestration and diversity.
