Sažetak
Life cycle assessment (LCA) is one of the most used tools for environmental management, but its application in forestry is still slow. Forestry and wood technology together produce vast amount of different wood products, but the production of timber as raw material is still not included often enough in the LCA process. Production steps have a significant influence on the environmental impact of wood products depending on machinery used, building and maintaining forest roads, management type (clear-cut, even-aged management or selective cut) etc. This paper will show past and present of LCA studies in forestry and its sections: 1) harvesting operations, 2) biomass and 3) forest infrastructure network construction and maintenance.
