Abstract
Because of the many technical, operational, and economical advantages offered by whole-tree logging technology and various forms of residue utilization, intensified biomass recovery will probably be applied more commonly in the future. Whole-tree utilization stimulates early thinnings and other silvicultural activities and thus benefits forestry and the forest industries as a whole. However, it also involves indisputable ecological and environmental risks.
