Abstract
Increased bulk density of a clay loam soil on logging skid trails in the Oregon Coast Ranges was most highly correlated with the logarithm of the number of turns with a low-ground pressure (FMC) skidder. The surface 15cm of soil was impacted more by uphill than by downhill yarding. Modified 10-blow Proctor tests slightly overestimated increases of soil bulk density on high-use downhill skid trails. The 15- and 10-blow Proctor tests very closely estimated these density increases for the 7.5 and 15cm depths, respectively, for uphill skidding.-from Authors
