Details

The assortment process is defined by several parameters. These follow the specification of its ancestor BDAT , but are extended to allow for fix length assortments at the tree top (industrial wood / pulp wood) and relaxes transport length and stump height.

• stH: stump height, defaults to 0, i.e. 1% of tree height

• Lxh: length of unusable wood at stem foot [m], defaults to 0 (X-Holz)

• Hkz: indicator for tree top, 0 - normal, 1 - Wipfelbruch, 2 - Gipfelbruch

  • 0 => H=H (default)

  • 1 => H=H+2

  • 2 => DBH < 30 => H=DBH; dbh > 30 => H = 30 + (DBH-30) * 0.3

• Skz: indicator for stem type, defaults to 0

  • 0 => conifer trees => no assortment restriction; deciduous trees => no assortments

  • 1 => monopodial deciduous trees => Hsh = 0.7*H

  • 2 => branching between dbh and 7m => Hsh = 5m

  • 3 => crown base < 3m => Hsh=0.1

  • 4 => dead or broken stem => Az = H*0.7

  • 5 => dead tree => non-usable wood

• Hsh: usable stem height, defaults to 0, i.e. 0.7*H

• Zsh: minimum cutting diameter under bark for stem wood [cm], defaults to 0, using parameter Az if estimated length < maximum length (i.e. 20m)

• Lsh: length of stem wood, defaults to 0, i.e. length unrestricted

• Zab: minimum cutting diameter under bark for top segment [cm], defaults to 0, i.e. 14cm under bark

• Lab: length of top segment, defaults to 0, i.e. length unrestricted

• Az: minimum cutting diameter over bark [cm], defaults to 0, using an exponential function given DBH to estimate Az

• LIh: length of industrial wood [m], defaults to 0, i.e. length unrestricted

• trL: maximum transport length of assortments, defaults to 0, i.e. 19m

• fixN: number of fixed length assortments at stem foot, defaults to 0 (no fixed length assortments, irrespective of other fix* parameters)

• fixZ: mininum diameter under bark for fixed length assortment at stem foot, defaults to 0

• fixL: length of fixed length assortment at stem foot, defaults to 0

• fixA: fixed length assortement add-on in [cm], defaults to 0

• fixR: fixed length assortement add-on in [%], defaults to 0
