Skidding trail reinforcement with reduced amount of slash
Skidding trail sites are reinforced with slash to keep them from rutting by numerous skidding vehicles passes. As the number of passes is not uniform on the site, it is possible to reduce slash usage as the material for reinforcement. The amount of slash should be enough to keep safety characteristics of the slash covering for the definite number of ...

The influence of cutting height on arthropods in farm grassland
Mowing at a cutting height of 13 cm slightly reduced the immediate negative impact of mowing compared to mowing at a height of 7 cm. Medium‐term effects overrode this benefit: the number of vegetation‐dwelling arthropods remained strongly reduced two and four weeks after mowing, regardless of the cutting height.

Operability of Skidding Trails and Technological Corridors on Permafrost
The area occupied by permafrost in the Russian Federation is more than 10 million km2, or over 60 % of the entire territory of the country. Permafrost in Siberia and the Far East extends far to the south, and spreads over more than 30 % of the forested lands of our country.

ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence (AI)–enabled automation is often utilised in systems that perform human tasks. While useful, these technologies pose a risk of adverse consequences in the case of AI failures as they operate in open environments, learn and are subject to continuous updates.

Control System for the Navigation of the Agricultural Robots: A Review
ABSTRACT Control systems for the navigation of autonomous agricultural robots—particularly those operating in uneven terrain and in the presence of static or dynamic obstacles—have advanced considerably in recent years. As conventional machinery evolves toward increasingly automated systems, the design of reliable navigation controllers has become ...

Abstract We investigate how the affordances of an online context shape the processes of social learning. Using a dataset of more than 11,000 posts from the fraud subdread on the dark web forum Dread, we examine how affordances of platform governance, connectivity, anonymity, invisibility, asynchronicity, and limited oversight influence the components ...

Effects of different logging practices on soil density and root mass [PDF]
Any movements of forest machines under the forest canopy are harmful for the stand. Their tracks and wheels damage the soil surface: strip off the litter, disturb the sequence of horizons, alter soil hydro-physical properties.
