Objetivo AFTER EVALUATING THE FOREST COVER, THE CHOICE OF MACHINES AND OF THE MOST SUITABLE WORKING SYSTEM WILL BE MADE IN RELATION TO THE SELECTED THINNING TYPE, SOIL MORPHOLOGY AND OBTAINABLE ASSORTMENTS. THE DIFFERENT EXPERIMENTAL PHASES WILL INCLUDE: FELLING, TRIMMING, CONCENTRATION, SKIDDING, ASSORTMENTS FITTING AND, IF NECESSARY, DEBARKING. AN ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT OF VARIOUS OPERATIONS WILL BE CARRIED OUT. IN ADDITION, NEW SKIDDING MACHINES, PARTICULARLY SUITABLE FOR ITALIAN CONDITIONS, WILL BE DEVELOPED. A GENERAL ANALYSIS ON PRESENT FOREST TRANSPORT COSTS IN ITALY WILL BE CONDUCTED, AS WELL AS ON THE COSTS RELATING TO FOREST ROADS CONSTRUCTION, IMPROVEMENT AND MAINTENANCE. THE RELATIONSHIPS EXISTING BETWEEN UTILIZATION COSTS AND INVESTMENTS WILL BE ALSO INVESTIGATED. FINALLY, AN ANALYSIS WILL BE MADE ON FOREST ROAD NETWORK CHARACTERISTICS, WHICH ACHIEVE THE BEST ECONOMIC RESULTS FROM FOREST ACTIVITIES.
