| The initial phase of forest operations, timber extraction (logging), involves felling of timber and removing them out of the stands. This phase of forestry, if not planned and supervised properly, is the reason for various adversities one never expects happening in forested areas, such as erosion, sedimentation, soil compaction and displacement, etc. Human intervention introducing the above-mentioned undesired effects starts with furnishing the forests with forest roads for administrative purposes. Other things set aside, forest roads originated erosion is related to “physical factors” ie soil type, geology and climatic factors,“road density”,“road location” and “road standards”. Studies show that the initial increases in erosion following road building subsides and the figures come to normal levels due to the facts that good road building practices were employed and exposed slope cuts and embankments got stabilized. Logging on the other hand, is a never ending process which will happen here and there as the forests continue to exist. That’s why this unavoidable part of forest management demands operational planning in micro level because especially edaphic and topographic factors differ tremendously in close distances. Although extensively taught in schools, logging is contracted and practiced relatively unprofessionally in Turkey and creates far more serious circumstances to soil and the environment. In the scope of this study devised following a logging operation which occurred in Ihsangazi Forest Directorate in the spring of 2015 after an unexpected windstorm had swept a 100+ years old Scots pine forest in February, 2015, what an unplanned … |
