Soil Compaction on Forest Plantations following Cattle Use
Grazing cattle on forest plantations in the interior of British Columbia is a common practice. Soil compaction can occur following cattle use, although this may vary with stocking rate, vegetation type and age, soil type, soil water content, and climate. Several studies have shown that increased soil compaction can have a negative impact on growth of young tree seedlings and on productivity in ...
متن کاملAssessing log extraction related soil disturbance and solutions to protect soil and reduce disturbance of forest ecosystem.
Skid trails are the main routes for wood extraction and also the main source of runoff and sediment production in Forests. This research was conducted in Kuhmiyan forest of Golestan Province to determine infiltration, compaction, strength (resistance to penetration) and moisture content in three treatment including control (in the forest), wheel ruts and middle of skid trail were measured in th...
متن کاملSoil compaction assessment at different grazing intensities using Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (Case study: Sabalan south eastern rangelands, Ardabil province)
Grazing intensity should follow the management roles to prevent the soil compaction. Soil compaction decreases plant root penetration so that at 2 MPa the root extension and above ground biomass will stop. In this research, digital penetrometer was used to assessment the soil compaction level in Sabalan region in Ardabil province caused by livestock. Grazing intensity and distance from villa...
متن کاملEstablishment of Long-term Soil Productivity Studies on Acidic Soils in the Interior Douglas-fir Zone
A clear understanding of the impacts of forest practices on long-term soil productivity is required to maintain the productivity of forest soils while forests continue to be managed for timber production. Although current regulations governing soil conservation in British Columbia are partially based on historic and ongoing research, there are few clear and unambiguous long-term results. The ne...
متن کاملEffect of Co-existing Heavy Metals and Natural Organic Matter on Sorption/Desorption of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Soil: A Review
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), abundant in mixed contaminant sites, often coexist with heavy metals. The fate and remediation of PAHs depend heavily on the sorption and desorption behavior of these contaminants. The sorption behavior can in turn be highly affected by certain soil components and properties, such as soil organic matter (SOM) and the presence of heavy metals. Through rev...
