A compactação do solo em relação à exploração florestal: influência do “Forwarder”e do “Harvester”.

Abstract

This intensive utilization of machines can, however, cause damages in the soil, especially about the compactation, it can reflect in a bad way in the produtivity. Since the scarcity of information about the soil’s compactation caused by the forest machines, this work had the principal aims the valuation of the levels of soil’s compactation caused by the trafic the, “Forwarder” and “Harvester”. The fisics variables of the soil analysed where: density, and the soil’s resistance with the penetration. The analysis of the results obtained permited verify that the “Forwarder”provoked less soils’s compactation.
