Abstract:
In order to better understand the effects of forest road construction and logging on soil erosion in Eucalyptus plantation, annual (after timber harvesting) erosion amount of road collapse and ditch, river sediment deposition were measured, the river sediment content and discharge during one year before and after harvesting were observed. The results showed that the road density was 15.1 km/km2, skid trail density was 11.2 km/km2; there were about 73% of forest roads generating ditches in the first year after harvesting; the annual mean sediment concentration of the river was 0.57 kg/m3 in the first year after harvesting, it was 185% higher than that of before harvesting; the annual erosion modulus in the first was 1 613 t/km2, which is 15 times of before harvesting, and there was about 99.5% of sediment yielding in the rainy season; about 61.9% of sediment output from the catchment was transferred out of the catchment. The major sources of erosion were road ditch and road slopes, the percentages of soil erosion were 28.3% and 20.5%, respectively, more than 48% of erosion was caused by road construction. A good gutter and slope solid system will reduce more than 48% of sediment yields of the first year after harvesting in Eucalyptus plantation.
