Repeatedly posted from below: http://goo.gl/RtVgTd <- Page 21, sorry for Russian source. It takes 4000 saplings at once, and goes at 6 km/hr, can plant every at 0.5m, gives you 12K saplings/hr. You have to rec

Oh yeah, and killing every second male in Ireland by Lord-Protector Cromwell is also grossly exaggerated.

So was Sir Winston Churchill, by whose policy 10 mln Bengali people died from starvation. I see no difference between one greedy self-important politician and another. Its a pity we are defenseless in front of them.

called podrost in Russia. Not in all types of forests. often they die when you remove canopy. bugs come.

well, as you can see apples are doing better than aardwarks when thrown.

I provided enough evidence of its existence below. Besides I worked with its early model myself. Since when google and the internet became the proof of everything?

Thanks! That's a good one. These peons are using very light version, probably 6 kilos or such. The original Kolesov's planting sword is very heavy. But mind the Darth Vader style of breating in that video. This is very true.

No. No one tried to the best of my knowledge. I personally know to whom I may address your potential enquiry, but I doubt the existing process of decision making in Belarus will produce any fast answers. The best way is to go there and talk

May I draw your attention that Google was made a little bit later, and the Internet too.

One of the most efficient Soviet afforestation technology for pine forests is - wait until the good seed year comes in ripe forest. Cut it down the next year. Cones will land. Burn the place with controlled fire. Stumps will go, cones will

Thank you, you made a very good point. ПЛА-1 and its later successor ПЛА-1А were intended to plant pine and spruce saplings. These are major forest species in the European part of the former Soviet Union. However, you put it right, forests

Thank you hurin, this is a good point. There are marginal costs however. Traditional planting sword is unbreakable. Drones are not. ПЛА-1 was widely criticised in the USSR for its cassette's low quality, and often failures (this is why

by ommunist 12y ago
Well, here is traditional way. 16 kg tool - planting sword. No kids allowed. Up, down, turn to yourself, put sapling turn from yourself, up, step forward, repeat. 8 hrs straight, 2 breaks 30 min each. Roughly 30 sec/sapling is bad spee

This is Galmor Tree Planter with load of 10000 saplings - http://www.forestry.gov.uk/pdf/ODW1002.pdf/$FILE/ODW1002.pdf It is not so portable comparing to its Soviet competitor.

by ommunist 12y ago
Oh, in the same source there is a new one - МЛА-1А «Илана». Can plant forests at 3,75km/h with same cassette feeder 4000 saplings per load on clearings _with_ tree stumps (if stumps density is below 600 stumps/ha.

by ommunist 12y ago
Ever been in Russia apart the large cities? No roads. Just mere directions. Technically you have to clear the area from stumps and use large tractor with massive forest plough and automaton attached.
797.
by ommunist 12y ago
That is correct. The most costly operation in afforestation by planting is removing stumps. We did it with explosives.

by ommunist 12y ago
Look for ПЛА-1 and ПЛА-1А. Sorry, the abbreviation stands for Automatic Afforestation Device (Приспособление лесопосадочное автоматическое), designed at Institute of Forest in Homel. I worked there after university. At 6 km/hr and plan

by ommunist 12y ago
Sure. This was the only reforestation automaton made (ПЛА-1) in the USSR. Take any Soviet reference for mechanical planting of forests - it will be there. Technically its an add-on to large forest plough ПКЛ-70 supplied with cassette feeder

Cost comparisons are tricky. Planting hevea plantation in mountain areas of Malaysia is one thing, planting oaks in Kazakhstan is another.

PLA-1, 2 human operators, 12-24K trees per hour. Any Kenyan or Brazilian small forge can make PLA-1 bot. You just supply plastic cassettes with saplings. Besides, saplings are far superior in survivaal rates than seedlings. I also manually

by ommunist 12y ago
These are OK. As long as they survive deforestation in sufficient quantity and there are seeds left to spread in the area. The last thing shakes limits of probability of effective reforestation by bird to improbable.

by ommunist 12y ago
This quantity is absolutely nothing. Area of the single forestry, let's say in small Latvia is around 30 000 ha. 1Bn, I assume, is EU milliard. So, drones can plant, say pine seedlings with density of 4 thousand/ha (which is IMHO

Sorry for my late reply. HTML email is separate media and separate (very large) business. Cost per lead acquired by using HTML mail is high. So is its market value. So any tool that makes life of HTML mail designer easier will be very much

Gooood case for a brave lawyer to make himself a name. He can try prohibit sales of all Apple products in the EU on the basis of the current anti-monopoly EC legislation using this as a case.

Don't forget the need to support HTML email clients. Say, Lotus Notes.

by ommunist 12y ago
Yes, you are right. As long as people are using HTML mail, tables for layout are the only way to go.

Spans are stripped out by Outlook 2010 in HTML mail. This is not edge case, as you may think. Most corporates are still on Outlook 2010 (and IE 6, especially large banks in the UK).

I have seen it only once. It was used for Obama's election campaign and they reached me with Google moderator. As it usually is, they did not even care, am I American citizen or not. Default country, what can I say.
