Abstract

A study was undertaken of silvicultural, “mechanical” and combined methods of thinning. A comparison between the methods, on the basis of productivity and costs, showed that a 1 in 9 combined, log-length method was the most efficient while the 1 in 3 combined, tree-length method was the least efficient.
