Abstract Purpose of Review This paper aims to provide a comprehensive but concise review
of the various quantitative methods, in particular, optimization techniques, for the efficient …

This study provides a state-of-the art overview of forest biomass harvesting technologies and
supply chains used in North America, Europe and the Southern Hemisphere. The …

Abstract Purpose of Review Integrated harvesting (ie, the combined harvesting of
roundwood and residues) has a large potential for replication, since all operations produce …

The moisture content (MC) of biomass derived from forest residues can pose a challenge to
biomass utilization. It plays a significant role in determining the cost of transportation and …

Sažetak Forest fuel is a renewable source with the potential to substitute fossil fuels in
several application fields, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting rural …

This study evaluated changes in mass and the moisture content of stored summer-harvested
Scots pine small diameter roundwood subject to different types of preparation and storage …

Similar feedstock consisting of poplar stems and tops was fed to a commercial drum chipper,
before and after a 12-month storage period. The chipper was fed alternately with poplar …

In-forest drying of roundwood and biomass (residues) can result in more efficient transport
operations from an economical and environmental perspective. On the negative side, in …

Abstract Purpose of Review Taking moisture content samples from forest residue stack piles
has been a challenge due to numerous factors such as varying shapes of piles, difference in …

Drying, as a process of changing the moisture content and temperature of capillary-porous
materials, is a necessary step in many technologies. When predicting moisture changes, it is …
