Wald accident: 25-year-old from falling tree seriously injured!

A dramatic incident occurred in a steep piece of forest when a 25-year-old Romanian was hit by a falling chestnut tree during the wooden harvest. As orf.at reported, the accident occurred while the man fed up a spruce. The cause of the break of the tree is attributed to the dry ground, which led to its instability. Fortunately, two other forest workers were nearby, who immediately alerted the rescue workers and helped the seriously injured to get to a forest path via rough terrain.

after he was taken care of, a rescue helicopter brought the injured worker to the LKH Graz. The police have started the investigation into the exact course of the accident, but so far there is no indication of an external negligence. Such accidents in forestry are tragic, but sometimes they can be influenced by the fourth dimension of nature.

soil conditions and tree species

In connection with the wooden harvest, the properties of the soil are of crucial importance for the choice of tree species, such as Forestbook.info . For example, the Schwarzerle, which prefers moist locations, grows excellently on river courses and indicates groundwater deposits. The spruce, on the other hand, has greater difficulties on heavy, binding soils that tend to waterlogging. At such unsuitable locations, it shows inadequate stability, which makes it vulnerable to overturning.

The choice of the right tree species is not only crucial for the harvest, but also plays a role in the ecological stability of the forest. Tree species such as the ash and the mountain maple are particularly demanding when it comes to soil conditions, and require well -supplied, nutrient -rich soils. Inadequate conditions can not only affect growth, but also lead to dangerous situations, as the tragic incident shows.
