N2 - Anextensive field trial was set up in eight forest stands to examine the influence of soil texture (two stands
on sand, four on loam to silt loam, two on clay), machine mass (light, heavy) and traffic intensity (one
and five skidding cycles) (i.e. pass back and forth on the skid trail) on soil compaction after mechanized
harvesting. Dry bulk density (BD), penetration resistance (PR), micro-topography and soil carbon dioxide
(CO2) concentration were applied as response variables for soil compaction. Significant effects onBDwere
nearly absent (
