Soil moisture recovery after timber harvest cessation on abandoned skid trails after 20 years [PDF]

open access: yesمجله جنگل ایران, 2016
Forest soil conservation as a production base during the harvesting and skidding operations is necessary, until the amounts of damage and recovery time of soil characteristics after the operation are minimized.

Comparison of damage to residual stand due to applying two different harvesting methods in the Hyrcanian forest of Iran: cut-tolength vs. tree length

open access: yesCaspian Journal of Environmental Sciences, 2017
Damage to residual stand is unavoidable and it is one of the main important issues in the forest harvesting. Trees damage may occur in felling and skidding work phase or during skid trail construction.

Evaluation of water soil erosion processes in forest areas in the Western Sudetes using terrestrial laser scanning and GIS tools

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2018
In the terms of forest soil protection function and the limitations of these functions resulting from forest works, the authors aim was to determine the intensity and spatial range of erosion, and the volume of soil material loss resulting by erosion ...

Evaluation of Factors Affecting Water Erosion along Skid Trails (Case study; Shafarood Forest, Northern Iran)

open access: yesCaspian Journal of Environmental Sciences, 2013
Water erosion causes severe soil damage in northern forests of Iran which is associated with different rut depths in skid trails. The aim of this study was to assess rutting and soil displacement on skid trails to mitigate water erosion.

Productivity, Costs and Residual Stand Damage of Timber Harvesting Methods in Scots Pine Stands with Extended Distance Between Skid Trails

open access: yesCroatian Journal of Forest Engineering
In forest operations, economic advantages can be obtained by increasing the distance between the skid trails. This protects soil by reducing the compacted area, while at the same time increasing the productive timber ground area.

Short-term recovery of fine root carbon stock is inhibited by skid trails in a humid tropical forest

open access: yesiForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry
Impacts of logging on below-ground carbon stocks are less well understood than those on above-ground carbon stocks. Consequently, there is a sizeable knowledge gap regarding fine root recovery and their contribution to below-ground carbon stocks.

The effects of slash and sawdust on reducing soil compaction on skid trails

open access: yesتحقیقات جنگل و صنوبر ایران, 2017
Skidding logs from stump to depot areas is the most important part of ground-based logging operations, which often leads to an increase in soil bulk density and decrease in soil porosity. In this study, woody slash and sawdust treatments with a weight of 10 kg m-2 were used to decrease soil compaction on skid trails during the trips of rubber-tired ...

Determination of The Effects of Different Silvicultural Treatments on Soil Respiration, Temperature and Moisture Properties in The Skidding Trail Depending on Topographic Factors

open access: yesKastamonu University Journal of Forestry Faculty
Aim of study: This study investigates how silvicultural treatments and skid trails influence soil respiration in relation to soil moisture, temperature, and topographic factors within forest ecosystems.

Nutrient Concentration on Skid Trails under Brush-Mats – Is a Redistribution of Nutrients Possible?

open access: yesCroatian Journal of Forest Engineering, 2015
In mechanized timber harvesting, it is common practice to build brush mats from logging residues on skid trails. Protective effects of brush mats against soil compaction are documented by several studies.
