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

open access: yesRemote 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.

Forest roads act as habitat corridors for Populus tremuloides in the boreal forest of eastern Canada

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Edge habitats resulting from the construction and maintenance of forest roads favour pioneer, shade-intolerant and disturbance-adapted plant species. The effect of roads on the spread of non-native species has been frequently studied, but few studies ...

Forest transport roads according to natural forest regions in the Czech Republic

open access: yesJournal of Forest Science, 2008
Important parts of the forest sector are forest engineering constructions and capital construction of forest road network which improve the optimal management of forests and forest stands and their reasonable opening by a forest road network.

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

open access: yesRemote 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

open access: yesJournal 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

Forest road erosion

open access: yesJournal 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.

Assessment of the state of a forest road network as a basis for making a program of forest management unit opening [PDF]

open access: yesGlasnik Šumarskog Fakulteta: Univerzitet u Beogradu, 2014
The planning of a forest road network is preceded by a detailed analysis of the current qualitative and quantitative state of forest roads, and above all, the determination of their spatial layout.

Reducing erosion from forest roads and skid trails by management practices

open access: yesJournal 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 ...
