Özet |
Kastamonu presents 1.7% of Turkey’s forest areas and its province is covered by 65% forestland. When the rate of utilization of forest areas is considered, 5.4% percent of nationwide industrial wood productions is provided from Kastamonu’s forests. In general, three methods are known for the logging activities; manpower, animal power and mechanical power. However, the most used logging methods in Kastamonu forest areas are widely farm tractors. In addition, the use of skidding through wire drawing is also often applied for the logging in the region. Main aim of this present study was to determine the effects of logging activities on soil properties, organic horizon and soil compaction after the silvicultural activities in Kastamonu region were carried out by farm tractors and the skidding through wire drawing at two different slope groups in the forest (30-60%, 60-100%). Soil sampling was taken from four different microecological sites that occured during the production activities, namely (1) skid road,(2) production wastes subbase,(3) mineral soil without topsoil and (4) control sites. At each site, mineral soil samples were taken from four soil depths (0-5, 5-10, 10-15, and 15-20 cm) and analyzed for soil pH, permeability, water holding capacity, organic matter, soil texture, bulk density, rock fragments or skeleton (> 2 mm), soil compaction and dispersion ratio. |
