In order to achieve our aims, both in winter and summer, 4 representative plots were taken in the harvesting areas using Urus MIII skyline. <span>  </span>Physical damages caused by logging to residual trees and seedling were noted. Damage classes for the residual trees were divided into 4 categories as (0:no injury, 1:light injury, 2:medium injury, 3:heavy injury) and 5 categories for the seedlings as (0:no injury, 1:light injury, 2:medium injury, 3:heavy injury, 4:dead trees). As a result, it has been concluded that logging activities on snowy terrain during winter caused less damage on residual trees and seedling than that of <br />the logging during summer season </font> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Artvin Çoruh Üniversitesi}
