Softwood sawlog, low quality {AU}| | AusLCI, U
Unit process Australia v00.00.001
Included processes:Process begins with the input of softwood production and and ends with the supply of low quality softwood sawlogs. Remark: This is an economically allocated process for low quality sawlogs which is a coproduct of softwood production which produces high-quality sawlogs, low quality sawlogs, pulp logs woodchips and poles .The data is averaged across four regions. The input of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is included to correct the carbon imbalance caused by the economic allocation. 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
