PEMADATAN TANAH AKIBAT PENYARADAN KAYU DENGAN TRAKTOR CATTERPILLAR D7G DI AREAL HUTAN PRODUKSI PT INHUTANI II, KALIMANTAN UTARA
Abstract: This research was
aimed to study the soil compaction caused by tractor skidding of Caterpillar
D7G) in forest concession area of PT Inhutani II, North Kalimantan. The
research showed that the bulk density at conventional timber harvesting after
skidding of deepness 0-5 cm, 10-15 cm
and 25-30 cm was 1.248 g/cm3; 1.253 g/cm3 and 1.225 g/cm3 respectively.
The bulk density at reduced impact
logging after skidding of deepness 0-5 cm, 10-15 cm and 25-30 cm was 1.090
g/cm3; 1.084 g/cm3 and 1.038 g/cm3 (respectively. This research indicated that
the bulk density at RIL was lower than conventional timber harvesting.
