Generate a Yield Estimate Sheet for prioritizing machine-accessible zones within a mixed-stand pine plantation before hurricane season harvests

Aerial Survey & LiDAR Files *

Stand Composition & Species Mix * Choose stand type... Loblolly Pine (>80%) with minimal hardwood Slash Pine (>80%) with scattered oak/hickory Longleaf Pine (>60%) with gallberry understory Mixed Loblolly/Shortleaf/Hardwoods (40-60% each) Pine plantation with 15-25% hardwood intrusion Natural regeneration pine-hardwood mix Second-rotation loblolly with herbaceous competition Sand pine (>70%) with scrub oak mosaic Virginia pine (>90%) on Appalachian ridge Custom species composition (specify in notes)

Machine Access Terrain Ratings * Select terrain category... Flat coastal plain (0-5% slope, good drainage) Gentle rolling hills (5-15% slope, moderate drainage) Moderate slopes (15-25% slope, some erosion risk) Steep terrain (25-35% slope, limited equipment access) Wetland-adjacent with seasonal saturation Sandy soils with high trafficability Clay soils with poor drainage when wet Rocky outcrops limiting equipment movement Stream buffer zones with restricted access Mixed terrain requiring selective harvest approach

Spherical Basal Area & Stocking Density *

Hurricane Vulnerability Factors *

Harvest Equipment Specifications * Choose equipment type... Feller-buncher with grapple skidding (clearcut 25+ acres) Cut-to-length harvester/forwarder system (selective 10-40 acres) Shovel logging with skyline extraction (steep terrain) Conventional chainsaw with rubber-tired skidders Processor head with whole-tree chipper operation Tracked harvester for wet/muddy conditions Hybrid wheeled/tracked system for variable terrain Cable logging for inaccessible ridge tops Shovel logging with grapple skidding on slopes <30% Multiple systems staged for different stand conditions

Regulatory Compliance Requirements * Choose regulatory environment... Clean Water Act 404 wetland permits (+30-day advance) State BMP compliance with 50ft stream buffers Endangered Species Act consultations (red-cockaded woodpecker) NPDES stormwater permit requirements Air quality burn permit restrictions County moratoriums during fire season State transportation overweight permit limitations Logging BMP training certification requirement Stormwater pollution prevention planning (SWPPP) Multi-jurisdictional overlay with pending reviews

Stakeholder Priority Matrix * Choose priority stakeholder... Landowner seeking maximum revenue protection Mill buyer requiring specific log specifications Forest manager minimizing storm damage liability Insurance company risk mitigation objectives Wildlife biologist habitat retention priorities County emergency management evacuation routes Public utility maintaining powerline clearances Contract logger equipment mobilization efficiency State forester forest health protection Carbon credit market optimization goals

Output Yield Detail Level * Choose detail level... Per-acre volume estimates with USD value by product class Machine-specific hourly productivity rates Daily volume projections by access zone Weekly scheduling blocks with crew requirements Risk-adjusted yield scenarios (best/most-likely/worst case) Real-time harvest tracking with fuel consumption metrics Grade-specific lumber volume with mill-spec pricing Chip/pulpwood ratios by species and access zone Hauling logistics with road condition impact Complete financial proforma with weather delay contingencies
