“…Cable-skidding can damage residual trees in natural forests, can disturb soils, and alter potential habitats for regeneration (Sist et al, 1998;Iskandar et al, 2006;Tavankar et al, 2015). However damage to residual stand and to soil is a natural prospect of selective logging, but the level of damage should be minimized to assure future product quality .…”

“…Rationalization efforts have resulted in an increasing mechanization of timber harvesting systems (Stehman & Davis, 1997;Limbeck-Lilenau, 2003). However, uncontrolled mechanized logging resulted high damaging on forest structure, composition and regenerating capacity (Sist et al, 1998;Picchio et al, 2012). Logging operation can also cause soil disturbance in various forms such as compaction, rutting and soil displacement (Arnup, 1999).…”

“…Often the injuries become an input port for fungi decays (Vasiliauskas, 2001). The literature reviews show that minor damage to the stem of residual trees can have a major impact on the final stand volume as future saw logs (Verissimo et al, 1992;Pinard et al, 1995;Sist et al, 1998). Many factors such as length of time since injury, size of injury, tree species, location of wound on the bole and the vigor of tree are important in development of decay in wounds (Meadows, 1993;Vasiliauskas, 2001).…”

“…The logging intensity (Sist et al, 1998), Logging machines (Han & Kellogg, 2000), road density (Iskandar et al, 2006), level of logging operation planning (Pinard & Putz, 1996), site condition and skill of equipment operators (Pinard et al, 1995) are important factors that influence on amount of ground-based logging damages to residual stand and soil in forests. Logging studies have shown that poor felling and skidding techniques can result in excessive damage to residual stand (Pinard et al, 1995;Sist et al, 1998). Careless operations have a high potential for damage the forest soil and residual trees in short time which can lead to depletion of tree vigor and quality and degrade the volume and value of the future forest.…”

Damages to soil and tree species by cable-skidding in Caspian forests of Iran

Aim of study: The main aims of this study were to determine of damage level to residual stand and soil disturbance from mechanized selection logging.Area of study: Mixed beech stands in Caspian forests, northern Iran. Material and methods: Point-transect and systematic plot sampling were used for assessing damages to soil and trees, respectively.Main results: 89% of forest soil area was undisturbed or shallow disturbed, and 5.2% was deep disturbed. Soil bulk density of top 10 cm in the winching corridors, ruts and skid trails were increased 10.7%, 20.6% and 32.1% respectively than controlled area. Frequency of damages to regeneration and trees were 12% and 11.2%. The frequency of damages to regeneration was increased with increasing of their heights, but frequency of damages to trees was decreased with increasing of their diameter. The most type of damages was bole wounds in sizes of 100 to 200 cm 2 within 1 m from the ground level, and deep wounds. The frequency of damages was different in tree species (p = 0.001). The mean size of bole wounds was 174 cm 2 , and the mean height of bole wounds was 70 cm from ground level. The intensity of wounds on trees bole were decreased with increasing of their heights from ground level (p = 0.02), while their sizes were increased (p = 0.001).Research highlights: Winching of logs was the main cause of damages to soil and residual stand. The detailed planning strategy will reduce damage to level which is acceptable and predictable.

“…Timber production from native forests in many SE Asian countries is considered to be unsustainable and this is particularly so for Indonesia (Sist et al, 1998;Rimbawanto, 2002). Indonesian forests have been reduced in total area by approximately 40% in the past 50 years (Holmes, 2002).…”

The potential to use plantation-grown Acacia mangium for solid-timber products is limited by heartrot, caused by decay fungi. A rapid method of surveying logs stacked in the plantation following harvest was developed which is an alternative to timeconsuming whole tree destructive assessments. Logs were randomly chosen from the stacks using a transect method, the cutends of the logs were assessed (2199 logs in total) and heartrot severity was scored on a 1-4 scale. Surveys of harvest-age A. mangium were completed in five Indonesian locations to assess heartrot incidence and severity. The incidence of heartrot in the main stem was significantly different between some regions, ranging from 6.7% in East Kalimantan up to 46.7% in West Java. The proportion of each defect type (1-4) did not show a consistent trend across the sites. A combination of differences between plantation management (e.g. pruning), age and climate in these five regions explain the differences in heartrot incidence and severity. #
