Softwood timber production {AU}| | AusLCI, U

Unit process Australia v00.00.001

Included processes:process begins with the management of softwood forest and ends with the supply of softwood products. It includes plantation establishment fire control harvesting. Remark: This is an unallocated coproducing process which produces high-quality sawlogs, low quality sawlogs, pulp logs woodchips and poles.The data is averaged across four regions. Geography: Refers to an average production in the Australia. Technology: Average Time period: Data collected for 2006 Version: 1.0 Record: Data entry by: Tim Grant Telephone: 0061 408104977; E-mail: tim@lifecycles.com.au; Company: LCS; Country: AU Generator: Generator/publicator: Tim Grant Telephone: 0061 408104977; E-mail: tim@lifecycles.com.au; Company: LCS; Country: AU
