Natural recovery of some soil micromorphological properties of skid trails for twenty years period (Case study: Shafarood forest, Asalem)

Document Type : Complete scientific research article

Abstract

Using modern machinery for logging transfer considerable pressure to soil which causes changes and damages to soil structure. This inturn has long- term effect on micromorphological properties including size and type of soil poresis. This research was conducted to examine the recovery of compacted soil during twenty years period. The treatments included three time period (1, 10 and 20 years), two slope classes (>20% and 20% and high traffic intensity.
