“…According to Kulušić [4], the most threatened are trees and regenerations located in the first third of the distance between the skid trail and the transport boundary. The research results did not confirm other authors' findings [4,34]. Statistical analysis using χ 2 test did not show significant difference in proportion of damaged trees between different prebunching zones (p=0.5769).…”

“…Sample plots were divided into two pre-bunching zones with the aim of identifying the pre-bunching distance influence on damage appearance to residual trees. In pre-bunching zone of 0-30 m 2.79% damaged trees were recorded out of all trees belonging to the pre-bunching zone of 0-30 m. In pre-bunching zone of 30-60 m 3.85% damaged trees were recorded out of the all trees belonging to the pre-bunching zone of 30-60 m. Behjou [34] established that the probability of damages to residual trees decreases as the distance from the skidding trail increases. According to Kulušić [4], the most threatened are trees and regenerations located in the first third of the distance between the skid trail and the transport boundary.…”

“…The largest share of damaged trees was recorded during uphill prebunching (9%), then pre-bunching on flat terrain (1.58), while during downhill pre-bunching damages to residual trees were not recorded. According to Behjou [34], the probability of damages to residual trees increases with the increase of terrain slope. This ascertainment was confirmed.…”

“…High harvest intensity stands (>9 stem ha −1 ) sustained more damage (21.3%) than low harvest intensity stands (<6 stem ha −1 ; 13.5%). Similar trends have been reported in the Caspian forest of Iran (Behjou, 2014) and the Kalimantan forests of Indonesia (Sist et al, 1998).…”

“…In addition, well designed access to the forest can limit the probability of damage, such as skid-trail spacing or road density [12]. Extracting timber on steeper slopes usually causes more damage [19,77,78].…”

Purpose of Review Lowering the impact of forest utilisation on the forest environment is a part of the improvement in sustainable forest management. As part of forest utilisation, timber harvesting can also cause environmental implications. The main impact of forest operations is on the soil, on regeneration and on the residual stand. The aim of the present review was to identify the state of the art in forest utilisation, identifying how and how much forest operations affect forest soil, regeneration and the remaining stand. Particular attention was paid to the level of impact and potential to limit this. Recent Findings There are a large number of publications tackling forest harvesting, but most of them do not give a comprehensive framework and they mainly focus on one or very few aspects of forest damage. In order to improve general knowledge of the impact of forest operations, it was proposed that the scope of recent findings should be examined and a compilation of the available results from different regions should be presented in one paper. Summary It was found that the least impactful machine-based forest operations were harvester-forwarder technologies, while a larger scale of damage could be expected from ground-based extraction systems (skidders) and cable yarders. Animal power, if applicable, tended to be very neutral to the forest environment. A decrease in damage is possible by optimising skid trail and strip road planning, careful completion of forest operations and training for operators. The existence of legal documents controlling post-harvesting stand damage are rare and have been implemented in only two countries; there is no post-harvesting control on soil damage and natural regeneration.
