LEONID VALG is an academic who published a paper in 1962 entitled Determination of economically marginal tree size through the application of conventional and linear. LEONID VALG published this work as part of a team: Valg, Leonid. Here is a description of this work: Various investigators of logging operation efficiency have stated that the harvesting of small trees is inevitably associated with higher operating costs. A comprehensive survey of literature has been presented to substantiate this fact. The cited information was supplemented, for the purpose of this thesis, by a time study conducted at the University Research Forest, near Haney, B. C, in June, 1961. During this study felling, bucking, yarding and loading of timber was studied at two different operations in that Forest. These studies supplied basic data for the computation of the size of the zero marginal tree. It was found that, under existing conditions, the indicated sizes were 12 and 14 in. d.b.h. for Douglas fir and hemlock trees, respectively. Further it was shown that the milling operation constituted the largest cost compo.
