Effects of Different Logging Techniques on Forest Soil Compaction at Mountainous Terrain

Öz

In this study, it was investigated that the effects of different logging techniques on forest soil compaction in the Artvin region. For this purpose, soil penetration resistance was measured in a total of 12 experimental areas where each with 3 pieces, including logging with forest skyline, forest tractor, manpower and chute systems using penetrologger. As a result, changes of penetration resistances values at where logging with manpower and forest tractor according to control points were higher than logging with forest skyline and chute systems.

Dağlık Arazide Farklı Bölmeden Çıkarma Tekniklerinin Orman Toprağının Sıkışmasına Etkisi

Öz

Bu çalışmada Artvin yöresinde bölmeden çıkarma tekniklerinin orman topraklarının sıkışmasına etkileri araştırılmıştır. Bu amaçla; her birinde 3’er adet olmak üzere; hava hattı, orman traktörü, insan gücü ve oluk sistemleri ile bölmeden çıkarmanın yapıldığı toplam 12 deneme alanında penetrologger kullanılarak zeminlerin penetrasyon dirençleri ölçülmüştür. Sonuçta; insan gücü ve traktörle bölmeden çıkarma yapılan deneme alanlarında ölçülen penetrasyon direnç değerlerinin kontrol noktalarına göre değişimleri, hava hattı ve oluk sistemiyle çalışılan deneme alanlarına göre daha yüksek bulunmuştur.
