Finns det ett samband mellan planeringsunderlag och uppkomsten av körskador? / Is there a connection between planning documentation and the occurrence of soil damages due to logging?

A soil damage due to logging is soil compression or track formation due to forest machines driving through woodland. After harvesting areas on Stora Enso’s woodland, serious soil damages have been noticed during thinning and final harvesting follow-ups. The purpose of the study was to clarify whether there is a connection between planned and not planned crossings in the compartment instructions and the occurrence of both soil damage and serious soil damage. To investigate this, 30 areas were selected from this year´s 207 final harvest areas and divided into three categories, which were compared for differences in occurrence of logging damages depending on type of crossing. The result showed that the category that had no planned crossings had a predominantly high proportion of soil damage and serious soil damage in the study. The category that had planned crossings had a low percentage of soil damage and no serious soil damage.
