Although selection cutting has many advantages, its potential for damage to residual trees is
a major challenge of forest management. The present study evaluated damage to residual …

In the Shafaroud forest, logging operation is generally performed by using selective cutting
methods. Chainsaw and cable skidder are two main forest machines for harvesting of this …

The felling and skidding damage to residual trees was investigated in a selectively cutting
operation in the Caspian forest of Iran. The logging operation was performed by chainsaw …

Introduction Chainsaw and cable skidder are two main logging machines for wood
harvesting in the Caspian forests. Selection cutting is the main silvicultural method in these …

Selective logging in mature hardwood stands of Caspian forests often causes physical
damage to residual trees through felling and skidding operations, resulting in a decline in …

There are increasing demands on silvicultural practices to reduce the adverse impacts of
harvesting. Damage to residual trees caused by ground-based skidding was assessed in …

Background: The frequency of wounded trees and intensity of wounds during logging
operations can have serious impacts on stand growth and forest sustainability. The aims of …

In the uneven-aged mixed forests, logging operation is generally performed by using
selection cutting method. However, logging activities result in serious residual stand …
