Abstract
Animal logging is one of the low impact logging systems. Mule logging has been in use many years ago in Iran. In order to estimate site damages by mule logging, in a sample skid trail, seedlings, soil compaction and pH were measured pre- and post-harvesting. 27% of the seedlings were damaged, 31% were completely destroyed and relative soil compaction increased by 14.14% but pH did not have significant difference. In 218 compartment of research area, the area of total skid trails, processing areas and landings of mule logging were surveyed, 5.72% of the compartment area was damaged by mule logging.
