Research Regarding the Cut Surface at the Felling of Beech Trees

Abstract

In this paper the analysis of the correlation between the breast height diameter, stump height and the total cut surface at beech trees felling was carried out. Felled trees were analyzed in terms of base diameter, stump diameter and height. The cut surface was determined using photo images of the stump and notch. Simple correlation analysis showed a direct close relationship between the cut surface and breast height diameter, the correlation coefficient value being very significant. Analyzing the correlation between the stump height and breast height diameter it resulted a direct correlation same as the correlation between stump height and the cut surface, the correlation coefficients are significantly distinct.
