Description

Forest harvesting and reforestation operations disturb forest soils, ranging from beneficial to detrimental depending on the nature of the site and severity and extent of the disturbance. Because of the importance of the forest soil resource, the Land and Forest Service and the Alberta Forest Products Association established a working committee to analyze and make recommendations to ensure the conservation of forest soils. The committee was responsible for developing guidelines to assist both the industry and the government on the management of temporary roads, decking areas and skid trails as it relates to the impacts on forest soils. A separate task force will examine the effects of reforestation site treatments on forest soils. This Forest Soils Conservation Report is a guideline and working tool to address potential impacts on forest soils. It is to be used to assist in planning and making field assessments and to guide operational decisions.
