The effect of slope on runoff volume was evaluated on skid trails in the natural forest in the
north of Iran. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between runoff …

Logging operation leads to increased runoff and soil loss on skid trails. This study was
conducted to evaluate the appropriate distance among water diversions in skid trails …

The generation of surface runoff and sediment yield was studied on skid trails in the
temperate forest of Iran. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of traffic frequency …

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 …

With increasing mechanization of forest harvesting operations the impacts on soil have
increased quite dramatically. The objective of this paper was to examine the relationship of …

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 …

Compacted soil has lower water infiltration and hydraulic conductivity, which contributes to
increased runoff and erosion on slopes. The aim of the present study was to assess runoff …

Sediment in forested watersheds is produced primarily from highly disturbed areas such as
skid trails. Forestry best management practices (BMPs) have been developed to minimize …

Mechanical logging and skid trail construction in mountainous areas are associated with soil
compaction and erosion risks. In this research, surface runoff and soil loss were studied at …

Forest roads are an essential infrastructure and prerequisite in the management of forested
areas. Sustainable management of roads depends on regular and timely forest road …
