1. 1. Management of forest biomass terminals

   Författare :Kalvis Kons; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Terminals and log-yards are becoming increasingly important in Nordic forest supply chains because of the need to support the rising production capacity of pulp mills and heat and power plants. Most modern terminals and log-yards handle multiple assortments, must accommodate multiple incoming and outgoing modes of transport, and have multiple storage areas. LÄS MER

3. 2. Constructing and contesting the legitimacy of private forest governance : The case of forest certification in Sweden
