Effectiveness of Erosion Control Structures in Reducing Soil Loss on Skid Trails [PDF]
Croatian Journal of Forest Engineering, 2021 Forest operations can lead to increased runoff and soil loss on roads and skid trails. Best management practices (BMPs) aim to minimize erosion and water quality problems, but the efficacies of various BMP options such as water bars are not well ...

Effect of the skid trail cross section and horizontal alignment on forest soil physical properties
Journal of Forest Science, 2017 Horizontal alignment and cross section characteristics of a skid trail in a ground-based skidding system including curves, wheel ruts and cross slope can impact on the forest soil.

Impact of clearcutting on radiocesium export from a Japanese forested catchment following the Fukushima nuclear accident. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 Changes in 137Cs export over time following clearcutting were investigated in a Japanese forested catchment affected by the Fukushima nuclear accident. A total of 13% of the catchment area was clear-cut 2 years after the accident. Annual suspended solids
