Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from forest civil engineering ^(PDF-2000K)
Technical Note (December 2013)
Alan Dickerson, Bruce Nicoll, Mike Perks
This Technical Note describes how the greenhouse gas release from forest civil engineering operations can be controlled and reduced, while still ensuring the development and maintenance of a robust forest road network. It is aimed at forest civil engineers, planners, managers and owners.
