Abstract

Forest machinery traffic on forests causes significant changes in increasing the bulk density, reducing porosity, ventilation and reducing water infiltration rate which resulted in an increasing surface Runoff. Past studies frequently reported the effect of mulch on reducing Runoff in laboratory conditions. The aim of the present study was to determine and compare the amount of produced Runoff in an Untreated skid trails, an Undisturbed forest (control area), and skid trail plots covered by sawdust, under natural conditions in Namkhaneh District, Kheyrud Forest. In this study, the Runoff plots (6 m 2 ) were established triplicate and the Runoff collected by pipes were measured in the outlet plots based on natural rainfall conditions. The results revealed that applying Sawdust mulch to the skid trail decreased Runoff compared to the untreated skid trail. The Runoff amount in Undisturbed forest, untreated skid trail, and Sawdust mulch treatments were 0. 40, 1. 44 and 0. 71 mm, respectively. The highest and the lowest amount of Runoff were found for untreated skid trail and Undisturbed forest treatments, respectively. Also, by application of Sawdust mulch, the amount of generated Runoff reduced by 48. 4%, while the amount of Runoff before applying the mulch in skid trail was 72. 2% higher than the intact forest. As a result, much application in forest skid trails will lead to decreasing the amount of Runoff.
