Skidding trail reinforcement with reduced amount of slash

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2019
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

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
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.

Soil bulk density, porosity and penetration resistance recovery following timber harvest cessation on abandoned skid trails after 20 years, Kheyroud forest [PDF]

تحقیقات جنگل و صنوبر ایران, 2015
Deforestation and soil degradation start simultaneously, thus the conservation of forest and soil mutually affect each other.  Therefore, techniques should be developed to reduce the amount of forest damage which in turn shortens the recovery time.

Operability of Skidding Trails and Technological Corridors on Permafrost

Lesnoy Zhurnal (Forestry Journal)
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.

Dynamic Trust Formation in AI‐Enabled Automation: A Longitudinal Case Study of an Advanced Driver Assistance System

Information Systems Journal, EarlyView.
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

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 5, Page 3474-3505, August 2026.
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 ...

Assessing the impacts of log extraction by typical small shovel logging system on soil physical and hydrological properties in the Republic of Korea

Heliyon, 2020
Typical small shovel logging system, using manual felling and extraction by small crawler excavator with grapple and crawler carriers, is the predominant logging method in the Republic of Korea, due to the associated high productivity.

Affordances, dread, and online fraud: Exploring and advancing social learning theory in online contexts

Criminology, Volume 64, Issue 3, Page 698-733, August 2026.
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 ...
