| Course abstract | |
| The study course provides knowledge about timber landings and relevant operations, different technological variants for energy wood production, low-grade and residual wood utilization technology. During the course students are acquainted with indices of different aspects, useful for assessment of alternative variants. | |
| Learning outcomes and their assessment | |
| Students get
• knowledge about technology in stationary timber landings, energy wood industry, and for low-grade wood useful utilization. • Skills how to make unbiased evaluation of technological variants are acquired. • Gained competence is sufficient for decision making to choose appropriate development directions of forest management. |
