Effects of Ground-Based Skidding on Soil Physical Properties in Skid Trail Switchbacks

Effective skid-trail design requires a solid understanding of vehicle-soil interactions, yet virtually no data exist on the effects of harvest traffic on soils in the switchback curves common in mountainous terrain. We contrast for the first time the effect of skidding on dry bulk density, total por...
