| dc.description.abstract | Having reliable estimates of wood volume categorized by classes of use is crucial for effective wood utilization. Accurate estimations enable better planning and allocation of resources, ensuring wood is utilized efficiently and appropriately for various purposes. In turn, this leads to informed decisions regarding wood allocation, optimal utilization, and waste minimization, ultimately contributing to maximizing profitability in forest management. However, tools for estimating wood volume are scarce, particularly for sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) stands in North Portugal. Sweet chestnut is a species with great potential for producing high-quality timber that serves diverse purposes. The wood obtained from sweet chestnut is known for its durability, strength, and appealing aesthetics, making it suitable for construction, furniture making, flooring, and joinery. Furthermore, chestnut can play a significant and renewed role in engineered wood products like Glulam beams and pillars used in sustainable construction practices. Objective: By utilizing data from high-forest sweet chestnut stands in North Portugal as a baseline, this research aims to fill the gap in tools for estimating wood volume in sweet chestnut and contribute to the sustainable management and utilization of this valuable timber resource. | pt_PT |
