1. Overview
• Status: in progress• Length: until month 36• Involved Partners Leader: BOKU Participants: GRAPHITECH, CNR, COMBOLAB, MHG, BOKU,
GRE, TRE, ITENE Aim: Trials and Validation of the SLOPE system on survey
sites in Austria and Italy• Outputs: Deliverables D7.031, D7.032, D7.04 and D7.05
Technical Meeting, Cork 20.01.2016
2. Introduction
• The objective of this task is to validate the new SLOPE system in a mountainous forest scenario
• The new system will be tested in Sover (Italy) in spring 2016 and Annaberg (Austria) in autumn 2016
• The efficiency of the SLOPE system will be measured by methods which were explained in D7.02
• This should lead to the strengths and weaknesses of the new system and support improvement

3. Survey site Annaberg
• Study site is located in the Austrian province Salzburg, in the village Annaberg im Lammertal
• Survey area (8 ha) lies on Promberg (905 m - 1144 m)• SLOPE harvesting area (0.42 ha; 1031 m - 1128 m)
3. Survey site Annaberg
• SLOPE harvesting area (0.42 ha; first section): first 200 m x 30 m section is the SLOPE harvesting area UAV+TLS survey was performed in autumn 2015 northwest exposed slope range of 60 % - 100 % small flatter part in the upper sector 30 % - 60 % 90 % spruce; 10 % firs and larches spread over the harvesting area 80 years old stock: 466 m3
number of stems: 345 basal area: 34.8 m2
mean dbh: 33.7 cm mean hight (hLorey): 30.2 m yield class spruce: 15.4 m3/ha/year
Technical Meeting, Cork 20.01.2016
3. Survey site Annaberg
Technical Meeting, Cork 20.01.2016
• SLOPE harvesting area (0.42 ha; first section): Preliminary clearing: Extraction of about 115 RFID marked trees
(150 m3) → this is about a third of the standing trees
• Additional harvesting area ÖBF agreement (second section): Also 200 m x 30 m about half a hectare Same forest stand characteristics Another 115 trees (150 m3)
• In total over the whole harvesting area of 400 m x 30 m about 230 trees (about 300 m3), which must be extracted during the SLOPE demo in autumn 2016 in Austria

Additional harvesting area ÖBF agreement
4. Performed activities on the survey site
• Selection of the cable line in SAGIS and generating GPS coordinates (survey area, SLOPE harvesting area)
• Marking corner points and borders of the survey area and harvesting area with colour spray on the basis of GPS data in Annaberg
• Marking cable line adapted on terrain conditions with marking tape• Making a complete enumeration for the SLOPE harvesting area
Technical Meeting, Cork 20.01.2016
3. Performed activities on the survey site
Marking harvesting treeswith white colour spray
UAV survey by COASTWAY 05.10.-09.10.2015
TLS survey by TREEMETRICS 02.11.-06.11.2015
Technical Meeting, Cork 20.01.2016
5. Prospective plans for the harvesting demo
• Marking thinning trees with RFID tags (Smartrac Shortdipole Monza 5) and the aid of Treemetrics Forest Application (forest map based on UAV and TLS data)
• Motor-manual felling of the marked trees by forest worker
• Extracting trees with a modified CRG 15 carriage (RFID scanning unit) in combination with a SIBERIAN tower yarder
Technical Meeting, Cork 20.01.2016
• Processing trees with an modified ARBRO (RFID scanning/marking, determining timber quality)
• Performing a time study for the new SLOPE system (modified carriage and processor head) and a cost calculation for the performance evolution
Technical Meeting, Cork 20.01.2016
5. Prospective plans for the harvesting demo
Mid-term Review 2/Jul/15
6. Agreement regarding the Austrian Federal
Forests support
• The Harvesting date must be fixed one month in advance
• Forestry workers of the Austrian Federal Forests will perform the felling operation
• The Austrian Federal Forests will provide a cable yarder operator and a processor operator
• The costs of a normal harvesting operation will be taken over by the Austrian Federal Forests
• Additional costs must be covered by the SLOPE project
