Rehabilitation of a secondary network of forest traffic infrastructure (skid roads - skid trails) [PDF]
Glasnik Šumarskog Fakulteta: Univerzitet u Beogradu, 2015 Forest transport infrastructure is the key segment of rational forest resource management. One of its constituent and inseparable segments are skid roads and skid trails whose network density significantly exceeds the primary network, i.e. truck

Determination of forest skid trail density in Caspian forests, Iran [PDF]
Journal of Forest Science, 2016 Calculation of Skid Trail Spacing (STS) is an important option to minimize the total costs of skidding. Construction of many skid trails increases the construction cost, it also results in more degradation on different levels in forests.

Reducing erosion from forest roads and skid trails by management practices [PDF]
Journal 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 ...

Changes in Soil Bulk Density Resulting from Construction and Conventional Cable Skidding Using Preplanned Skid Trails [PDF]
Northern Journal of Applied Forestry, 2007 Abstract A harvesting system consisting of chainsaw felling and cable skidder extraction was studied to determine soil bulk density changes in a central Appalachian hardwood forest site. Soil bulk density was measured using a nuclear gauge preharvest and postharvest systematically across the harvest site, on transects across skid trails,

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 ...
