Taper was the most significant defect, especially for olive and chestnut logs. Black locust showed stable yields (70%), highlighting its commercial potential. The results of this study demonstrate that the quality and defectiveness of logs\u2014particularly taper and ovality\u2014significantly influence the sawing yield of the investigated species and emphasize the importance of selecting high-quality raw materials to reduce waste and enhance the economic value of Mediterranean hardwoods.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords<\/strong><br \/>\nSawmill efficiency; Wood defects; Timber boards; Taper; Ovality; Live sawing<\/p>\n<div class='altmetric-embed' data-badge-type='donut' data-doi='10.1186\/s13595-025-01305-7'  style='float: right; ' ><\/div>\n<p><strong>Publication<\/strong><br \/>\nCataldo, M.F., Mammoliti, A., Papandrea, S.F.\u00a0<i>et al.<\/i>\u00a0Sawing yield estimation of defective logs in\u00a0<i>Olea europaea<\/i>\u00a0L.,\u00a0<i>Robinia pseudoacacia<\/i>\u00a0L., and\u00a0<i>Castanea sativa<\/i>\u00a0Mill. species growing in Southern Italy.\u00a0<i>Annals of Forest Science<\/i>\u00a082, 36 (2025). <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1186\/s13595-025-01305-7\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1186\/s13595-025-01305-7<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Data availability<\/strong><br \/>\nThe data that support the findings of this study are available at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5281\/zenodo.15966307\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5281\/zenodo.15966307<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Handling editor\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nJohn Moore<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key message This study assessed sawmill efficiency for olive (Olea europaea\u00a0L.), black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia\u00a0L.), and chestnut (Castanea sativa\u00a0Mill.) logs in Southern Italy evaluating the impacts of taper, ovality, sweep, and fluting defects on sawing yield.
