The merchantable bole is the only portion of the tree removed from the forest during commercial logging operations. The tops, branches and stump-root system are not removed during harvesting. 2, record 3, English, - merchantable%20bole
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 CONT
In terms of tree components, the greatest quantity of forest biomass is in the merchantable stem wood (49%), followed by branches (11%). The percentages vary somewhat among the species groups: hemlock, cedar and Douglas-fir (predominantly west coast species) have proportionally more merchantable stem wood biomass than spruce, pine, and fir; this is at least partly due to the larger average tree size. 2, record 3, English, - merchantable%20bole

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
En terme de composantes de l'arbre, la plus grande quantité de biomasse forestière est constituée du bois de tige marchand (49 %), suivi des branches (11 %). Les pourcentages varient quelque peu d'un groupe d'essences à l'autre : la pruche, le thuya et le douglas taxifolié surtout (essences de la côte Ouest) comptent proportionnellement une quantité plus élevée de biomasse de bois de tige marchand que l'épinette, le pin et le sapin; cela est dû au moins en partie à la taille moyenne plus élevée de l'arbre. 1, record 3, French, - bois%20de%20tige%20marchand
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 CONT
C'est ainsi que les mesures de superficies et de troncs marchands généralement utilisées pour évaluer les quantités disponibles de biomasse forestière ne suffisent plus. 2, record 3, French, - bois%20de%20tige%20marchand
