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.

Forest Roads Mapped Using LiDAR in Steep Forested Terrain [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2010 LiDAR-derived digital elevation models can reveal road networks located beneath dense forest canopy. This study tests the accuracy of forest road characteristics mapped using LiDAR in the Santa Cruz Mountains, CA. The position, gradient, and total length of a forest haul road were accurately extracted using a 1 m DEM.

Planning Forest Opening with Forest Roads
Croatian Journal of Forest Engineering, 2013 The article presents the model for determining inaccessible forest areas by density of forest roads. The model is based on the GIS analysis of the distances between the existing network of public and forest roads and inaccessible forest areas, sizes of ...

Forest roads act as habitat corridors for Populus tremuloides in the boreal forest of eastern Canada
Frontiers in Ecology and EvolutionEdge 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 ...

Filling in the Clearance of a Forest Road Cross-Section in Beech Forest
Croatian Journal of Forest Engineering, 2008 This paper deals with the required width of forest road formation. Forest roads are necessary for emergency forest management. Besides positive effects, forest roads also bring negative effects.

Analysis of the quality of primary forest accessibility: the case study
Glasnik Šumarskog Fakulteta Univerziteta u Banjoj Luci, 2023 Relative forest accessibility percent of accessible forest area by forest roads in comparison with total forest area is the most important indicator of the quality of primary forest accessibility.

The Road to Resistance in Forest Trees [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 In recent years, forests have been exposed to an unprecedented rise in pests and pathogens. This, coupled with the added challenge of climate change, renders forest plantation stock vulnerable to attack and severely limits productivity. Genotypes resistant to such biotic challenges are desired in plantation forestry to reduce losses.

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 ...
