Assessing the feasibility and profitability of cut-to-length harvests in eastern hardwoods

Informally Refereed

Abstract

Cut-to-length (CTL) logging applications are becoming more popular in hardwood forests. CTL harvesting causes much less damage to the residual stand than conventional harvesting because logs and trees are not pulled through the stand and trees can be felled directionally.
