规划良好的森林公路网对于实现可持续森林管理的目标至关重要。林道在商业用途、防火和娱乐活动中发挥着关键作用。这项工作的目的是应用精确林业在分析森林网络的两个森林猫头鹰在托斯卡纳。根据所获得的关于未来森林道路建设的信息，提出了一项建议。这项建议考虑到了技术有效性和环境可持续性，并特别关注低影响伐木。对两个系统进行了测试，以便更好地理解不同的技术方法。一个系统是由其他研究人员报告的，另一个是由本文作者开发的。目的是为参与决策的森林管理人员提供一个有效的工具和可能的替代办法。这项研究强调了精确林业的重要性，即使是在森林道路规划的小规模技术应用层面，从而帮助管理人员和业主在林业业务的决策过程中。
A well-planned forest road network is essential for meeting the goal of sustainable forest management. Forest roads play a key role in commercial purposes, fire prevention, and recreational activities. The aim of this work was to apply precision forestry in the analysis of the forest network of two forest ownerships in Tuscany. A proposal was formulated based on the information obtained regarding future forest road construction. This proposal takes into consideration technical effectiveness and environmental sustainability, with particular attention paid to low-impact logging. Two systems were tested so as to gain a better comprehension of different technical approaches. One system was reported by other researchers and the other was developed by the authors of this paper. The aim was to provide a valid instrument and possible alternative for forest managers involved in decision making. This study highlights the importance of precision forestry, even on a small-scale technical application level in forest road planning, thus helping managers and owners during the decision-making process in forestry operations.
