The purpose of the study is to design woody biomass harvesting system with high productivity to utilize efficiently forest resources. The system is designed based on a spatial analysis of forest volume, forest slope, forest age, and forwarding distance. The performance of the designed systems is evaluated by labor productivity, energy consumption, and CO2 emissions. The labor productivity of the systems is ranged in 4 - 44 m3/man-day (average, 19 m3/man-day), the averaged energy consumption and CO2 emission are 130MJ/m3 and 9 kg-CO2/m3, respectively. The results of this analysis can provide helpful information to the design of woody biomass supply chain.
