Abstract :
A combined influence assessment model is established based on grey cluster method in this paper to analyze the combined influence of plantation logging on the environment-resource-cost system. The modeling results show that in the process of skidding and hauling, the higher the degree of mechanization, the less the compositive consumption. Moreover, the compositive consumption of small equipment is lower than that of large equipment under the same condition. As a result, the proper equipment should be chosen according to environmental condition during the process of plantation logging, and traditional manual work should be avoided as much as possible. Furthermore, the selection of logging equipments should follow the rules of reasonable and sufficient application. Efficient and small equipments are suitable choice such as using farm vehicles instead of trucks in hauling.
