Costs of potential treatments per acre moving sawlogs with a skidder. This metric is dependent on predefined treatments or silvicultural prescriptions, which are best generated at the local and/or project level. The cost to perform each treatment given a defined prescription and should consider an array of factors including the spatial juxtaposition of the resources and infrastructure, as well as the location of the saw timber and biomass processing plants.--------Treatment cost calculations take into consideration the multiple costs necessary to move material from the forest harvest site to a processing location (sawmill or biomass facility) and includes the costs of felling, processing, skidding and hauling:--------costs to move material along different types of roads (i.e., dirt, paved, highways, etc.)--------across barriers (i.e., water courses)--------operational costs--------machine costs--------speed of moving material across the landscape.--------Cost values have been broken down into the costs to move either biomass or sawlogs.----------------This raster has been modified from the base 30m version in the following ways:-------- - It has been aggregated from a 30m to a 300m scale by averaging across the 30m values----------------- Unit Of Measure: Dollars |
