“…The increase in soil density is in line with the frequency of harvesting machine paths [32,33]; several studies have shown that there is an increase in the density of pus which increases significantly at the initial frequency of the traverse, which causes the bulk density to increase sharply and decreased the porosity [33,34]. The use of heavy machines in logging operations causes soil compaction with the bulk density increase and affects the macropore [9,10]. Soil compaction is on the surface and to a certain depth.…”

“…The maneuver of bulldozers as heavy equipment for skidding operations in natural forest areas causes soil disturbance, especially soil compaction, and decreased soil porosity [5,6,7]. Each heavy equipment track tends to compact the soil and affect the macropore and organic matter [8,9,10]. The negative impacts of using heavy equipment logging operations are increasing bulk density, reducing total pore space and infiltration rate, reducing soil permeability and water holding capacity, changes in soil structure, and needing a long time IOP Publishing doi:10.1088/1755-1315/1315/1/012050 2 to be recovered [11,12,13,14].…”

Logging operations in natural forests generally use bulldozers. Bulldozers skid logs from the stump site to the landing site. The bulldozer maneuvers in the felling area cause skid trails and soil compaction. Soil compaction is one of the negative impacts of logging operations. The research aim is to analyze the level of soil compaction in various bulldozer skidding intensities after logging operations. The research occurred at a natural forest area in Siberut West Sumatera, Indonesia. The results of the study showed that there was a relationship between skidding intensity and the level of soil bulk density. The more a bulldozer moves at the same skid trail, the higher the soil bulk density. The range of soil bulk density is from 0.82 g cm−3 to 1.31 g cm−3. The bulk density increases markedly after the bulldozer’s first, second, and third passes. After the fourth pass, the bulk density is relatively constant. The porosity of the soil decreases with the increase of the bulk density. On skid trails where the soil is very compact, seeds that fall on skid trails will have difficulty growing well. Requires planting on primary skid trails. Soil damage in the form of soil compaction by bulldozers needs serious attention in the Reduce Impact Logging technique.

“…The results show that compaction could reduce runoff infiltration rate, but adding sand to roadside soil could alleviate the negative impact of compaction. In particular, soil porosity changes after compaction can seriously affect water retention [9,10]. Longkai Yue [11] used the dye tracer method to characterize the characteristics of soybean roots and found that soil compaction reduced macroporosity and increased the heterogeneity of horizontal macropores.…”

The compaction of soil by agricultural machinery has seriously affected the sustainable development of agriculture. Tracked combine harvesters are widely used around the world; however, frequent rolling causes irreversible compaction of the soil. In this study, a tracked combine harvester traveling test was carried out in order to clarify the mechanism and influence of tracked combine harvester on soil compaction. The effects of multiple rolling on soil compaction at a depth of 0–30 cm were studied when the body traveled at speeds of 0.27 m/s, 0.48 m/s, and 0.95 m/s. The results showed that the dynamic load of the harvester on the soil compaction could penetrate into the soil at least 30 cm, and a non-linear relationship between the soil pressure and the depth was obtained. The peak pressure on the soil was 3.14 to 4.19 times higher than the average pressure, and the response to dynamic load fluctuated significantly in the soil. The self-excited vibration of the combine harvester formed a beating phenomenon in the soil, and the vibration signal was very penetrating in the paddy soil.
