Forest road erosion [PDF]

Journal of Forest Science, 2005
The forest road network influences surface runoff of uninfiltrated precipitation water on forest lands, mainly in hilly and mountainous areas. This water flows onto the road crown in unpaved forest roads that do not have any ditches.

Optimizing Management Practices to Reduce Sediment Connectivity between Forest Roads and Streams in a Mountainous Watershed

Remote Sensing, 2022
Forest roads often increase runoff and sediment loss, thus greatly impacting hydrological processes in mountainous watersheds. While there has been previous investigation on best management practices (BMPs) to reduce soil erosion from forest roads, few ...

Influence of storage on properties of wood chip material

Journal of Forest Science, 2017
The use of bioenergy for district heating is usually seasonal with a high consumption during the cold periods. Therefore some type of the harvested material storage is necessary. Woody materials are usually reduced in size to chips and stored outdoors in

Response of Sediment Connectivity to Altered Convergence Processes Induced by Forest Roads in Mountainous Watershed

Remote Sensing, 2022
Forest roads significantly affect sediment connectivity in mountainous catchments by contributing to the production of and disturbing the confluence of sediment-loaded runoff.

Reducing erosion from forest roads and skid trails by management practices

Journal of Forest Science, 2012
A road network in forest lands provides easy access to forest resources for extraction, regeneration, protection and recreation activities. Erosion from forest roads and skid trails is a major concern in forest management due to the capability to cause ...
