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 …

Compaction and rutting on forest soils are consequences of harvesting operations. The
traditional methods used to investigate these consequences are time consuming and unable …

Intensive forestry operations may cause soil compaction, plastic soil disturbances and
rutting, which are responsible for undesirable effects on soils, vegetation and water bodies …

Loss of canopy cover by forest harvesting generally increases the average surface runoff
volume and sediment. Selective cutting (single and group selection method) is the most …

Several studies have been carried out to investigate soil compaction and rutting after
logging vehicle traffic, based on time consuming and punctual field measurements. The …

Core Ideas Forest operations may cause severe soil disturbances. Soil impacts are usually
assessed by time consuming methods. Our study investigated the use of a portable laser …

Applying rice straw as mulch blanket on recently-established embankment is one way to
reduce the environmental impact of sediment yields from forest roads embankments …

We investigated the disturbance to the surface of a skid trail caused by removing cut timber
from inside the forest to the roadside by dragging using terrestrial laser scanning …

Silvicultural treatment and the forest harvesting operations using different methods can lead
to an increase in the production of runoff and sediment by changing the canopy and soil …

Among the various factors affecting soil compression during wood extraction, travel speed
hasn't received much attention. The aims of this study were to (a) assess the effects of two …
