Soil Bulk Density Recovery on Compacted Skid Trails in Central Idaho

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1985
Abstract In west‐central Idaho, the bulk densities of soil in major skid trails were compared with those of adjacent undisturbed soil in order to determine rates of recovery. Five study sites on each of two soils, one formed from granitic material (mixed, frigid, Typic Xeropsamments) and the other from volcanic ...

Natural recovery of skid trails: a review

Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 2021
In recent years, the study of skid trail recovery processes has gained momentum. In this review, 121 studies on various aspects of skid trail recovery were evaluated to determine when, where, and how the dominant factors that influence the process of recuperation occur.

Vegetative Stabilization of Logging Roads and Skid Trails

Northern Journal of Applied Forestry, 1992
Abstract Increased logging activity in the suburban forest heightens the risk of scarring the landscape and silting of streams, and it increases the need for specialized management to stabilize the soil with vegetation after harvest. Appropriate management requires evaluation of soil and seedbed characteristics and site conditions of ...

Phosphorus in accumulated harvest residues on skid trails

Forest Ecology and Management, 2015
Abstract Phosphorus is an essential yet scarce macronutrient, and as such forest nutrition often relies on cycling of P between biomass and soils through litterfall and roots. For technical and soil protection reasons, modern harvesting systems create thick brash mats on skid trails by depositing residues, thus concentrating P there.

Machine Performance and Site Disturbance in Skidding on Designated Trails

Journal of Forestry, 1984
Abstract Four machines were observed during over-story removal of conifer stands in Idaho by two methods: skidding of whole trees on undesignated trails, and skidding of tree lengths on trails designated in advance. A rubber-tired skidder handling whole trees had the lowest costs, $19 per cunit at an average skidding distance of 530 feet,

Effect of skid trail curvature on residual tree damage

Australian Forestry, 2019
Soil disturbances are unavoidable in ground-based skidding operations and it is well-known that the extent and severity of disturbances increase with increasing traffic frequency of harvesting equi...

Wheel slip investigation of farming adapted tractor in wood skidding on skid trail

1997
A review of new thinning systems for the transportation of small-sized wood which have been either introduced or tested in the Croatian forestry in the recent years has been presented in this paper. The paper also shows the results of the wheel slip investigation of the adapted agricultural tractor in small-sized wood skidding on the experimental skid ...

Optimal Skid Trail Spacing for Small Vehicles in Thinning

Journal of Forest Engineering, 1993
In Japan, the extent of man-made forests has reached 10 million ha. These forests were mainly established after World War II and are now at thinning age. Effective methods for thinning are being developed. In this paper the spacing of skid trails suitable for mini-forwarder with a grapple loading boom and a winch and mobile mini-yarder are discussed ...

Damages of skid trail in skidding log by a skidder LKT 80

2000
Forest skid trails as secondary forest roads represent the necessary building facilities in intensive and rational management of forest eco-system when skidders are used in the II phase of the forest harvesting. This paper deals with damages which occur on skid trails and which are caused by skidding log by skidder LKT 80. The research has been carried
