A LANDIS-II extension for simulating forest road networks

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Forest Research, 2023
Forest roads are an important part of forest management, both in terms of cost and impact on surrounding ecosystems. Existing tools to simulate the construction of forest roads have been designed for tactical or operational planning purposes, for ...

Measuring Spatial and Temporal Gravelled Forest Road Degradation in the Boreal Forest

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Degradation of forest roads in Canada has strong negative effects on access to forestlands, together with economic (e.g., increased maintenance costs), environmental (e.g., erosion of materials and subsequent habitat contamination), and social (e.g., use

Optimal Forest Road Density as Decision-Making Factor in Wood Extraction

open access: yesForests, 2022
Forest road construction projects mainly depend on factors related to terrain physiography, watershed, and wood harvesting. In the whole tree system, wood extraction is the activity most impacted by the density of forest roads, influencing the extraction

Forest Road Wearing Course Damage Assessment Possibilities with Different Types of Laser Scanning Methods Including New iPhone LiDAR Scanning Apps

open access: yesForests, 2022
Forests make up 34.1% of the Czech Republic total area and forest roads account for nearly the same length (47,465 km) as all other roads administered by the state and its regions (55,738 km). Forest roads are not as intensively used as other roads.

Spatially explicit assessment of forest road suitability for timber extraction and hauling in Switzerland

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Forest Research, 2021
Efficient forest management, and wood production in particular, requires a forest road network of appropriate density and bearing capacity. The road network affects the choice of a suitable extraction method and the length of the transport route from the

Forest Road Detection Using LiDAR Data and Hybrid Classification

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
Knowledge about forest road networks is essential for sustainable forest management and fire management. The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of a new hierarchical-hybrid classification tool (HyClass) for mapping paved and unpaved forest ...
