Recent findings related to measuring and modeling forest road erosion
Sediment is the greatest pollutant of forest streams. In the absence of wildfire, forest road networks are usually the main source of sediment in forest watersheds. An understanding of forest road erosion processes is important to aid in predicting sediment delivery from roads to streams. The flowpath followed by runoff is the key to understanding road erosion processes. On rutted roads, the fl...
متن کاملForest Road Design in Stable Location to Minimize Erosion (Case Study: Vaston District)
Soil erosion is of the most important environmental challenges and factors of forest damage, which is, occur because of the land use change, road construction and lack of vegetation cover. Forest soil is naturally penetrable but forest roads are not. This issue causes the flows runoff on road surface and washes soil particles. Thus, forest roads must be planned and constructed accurately. So, t...
متن کاملErosion and Channel Adjustments Following Forest Road Decommissioning, Six Rivers National Forest
Although watershed restoration through road decommissioning has become common in the last decade, few studies have attempted to investigate the success or failure of such projects. This study examines 117 km (73 miles) of decommissioned roads, including 262 stream crossings, on the Six Rivers National Forest, northwestern California, to quantify erosion and identify failure mechanisms and poten...
متن کاملRoad Surface Erosion on the Jackson Demonstration State Forest: Results of a Pilot Study
This paper presents results of a 3 year pilot study of surface erosion on forest roads in the Jackson Demonstration State Forest in California’s coastal redwood region. Ten road segments representing a range of surface, grade, and ditch conditions were selected for the study. At each segment, settling basins with tipping buckets were installed to measure coarse sediment and total runoff. Labora...
متن کاملForest Road Prism
The effectiveness of four road turn–out ditch treatments (vegetation, rip–rap, sediment fences, and settling basins) in reducing sediment export to the forest floor was evaluated. These four runoff control methods are commonly prescribed to control forest road runoff and sediments. The study utilized runoff samplers, runoff diversion walls, sediment filter bags, and erosion stakes to evaluate r...
