Abstract
Many parameters influence the weight of harvesting residues on sites after industrial wood recovery. This study provides knowledge about the weight of harvesting residues produce by cut-to-length followed or not by biomass recovery and whole-tree to the roadside harvesting methods, in Australian plantations. The other objective of this study is to estimate the nutrient content of the different components of residual biomass. The results showed that cut-to-length produces a higher weight of residues (104.0 GMt/ha) than when it is followed by biomass recovery (64.7 GMt/ha) and then whole-tree harvesting (12.5 GMt/ha). The fraction test showed that stem wood occupies the most significant proportion of the harvesting residues in the cut to length sites and that needles are the most abundant in the whole-tree to the roadside sites. Even though the weight of residues was inferior in the whole-tree to the roadside sites, the estimation of the nutrient content of the harvesting residues was not different within applied harvesting systems.
