Comparison of different erosion control techniques in the Hyrcanian forest in northern Iran

open access: yesJournal of Forest Science, 2017
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of closure best management practices (BMPs) on runoff volume and soil loss on skid trails that received two densities of soil cover mats and were located on two slope gradients in an Iranian temperate ...

Throughfall at an Abandoned Skid Trail in a Tropical Rain Forest in Peninsular Malaysia

open access: yesJapan Agricultural Research Quarterly: JARQ, 2018
Knowledge of throughfall at abandoned skid trails in tropical forests is extremely scarce. Thus, throughfall was measured using 120 storage rain gauges set on a skid trail left abandoned 41 years after forest harvesting in the Bukit Tarek Experimental Watershed (BTEW) in Peninsular Malaysia.

Residual damage in different ground logging methods alongside skid trails and winching strips

open access: yesJournal of Forest Science, 2015
To assess the residual damage a 100% inventory method was employed in pre-hauling and post-hauling, alongside skid trails and winching strips. Inventory was executed within 6 m from each side of the skid trail or winching strip centreline (12 m width ...

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 ...

RECOVERY OF THE SOIL AND PLANT COVER IN THE SKID TRAILS AFTER THINNING IN MYRTILLUS TYPE FORESTS OF THE NORTHERN TAIGA

open access: yesSiberian Journal of Life Sciences and Agriculture
Disturbance of soil and plant cover caused by logging operations results in various damages and can give rise to soil degradation and plant succession. We studied the recovery of soil and plant cover in the damaged skid trails of different periods after ...
