Abstrakt: The study aimed to evaluate stand structure, timber volume, and logging residues following sorting felling, explicitly focusing on the predominant species, pine. A comprehensive inventory of stumps was conducted within the designated sample plot. The average diameter of pine trees measured 21.8 cm. The wood volume in pine bark was calculated to be 1,068.9 m3, with the wood volume increasing with increasing thickness steps. The wood stock at the logging site mostly appeared to be pine, making it the dominant species. The discovery of a sizeable quantity of logging residues, accounting for 11.3% of the total stem wood volume, is an essential outcome of the study. The findings have practical implications for optimising forest management, preserving ecological equilibrium, and sustaining sustainable regional forestry development.
