Forest productivity decline caused by successional paludification of boreal soils.
Long-term forest productivity decline in boreal forests has been extensively studied in the last decades, yet its causes are still unclear. Soil conditions associated with soil organic matter accumulation are thought to be responsible for site productivity decline. The objectives of this study were to determine if paludification of boreal soils resulted in reduced forest productivity, and to id...
متن کاملSmall Strain Stiffness of Fine Grained Soils
Dynamic measurements of very small strain stiffness (c 0.001% and less) were carried out both in the laboratory, using piezoceramic bender elements of the type developed at the Norwegian Ceotechnical Institute and at the University College of North Wales, and in situ, using surface wave techniques. For the purpose of the research described in this dissertation, the piezoceramic bender elements ...
متن کاملEstimating the Rut Depth by UAV Photogrammetry
The rut formation during forest operations is an undesirable phenomenon. A methodology is being proposed to measure the rut depth distribution of a logging site by photogrammetric point clouds produced by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). The methodology includes five processing steps that aim at reducing the noise from the surrounding trees and undergrowth for identifying the trails. A canopy he...
متن کاملInvestigating the Effect of Sedimentary Basin on Consolidation of Kerman Fine-Grained Soils
In this research, the effects of a sedimentary basin, environmental conditions, and the passage of time were investigated on consolidation processes and engineering characteristics of fine-grained soils in Kerman city. For this purpose, the natural consolidation curves of soil samples extracted from different locations of Kerman city were compared with the Kerman city intrinsic consolidation li...
متن کاملSoil Compression Index Prediction Model for Fine Grained Soils
Compressibility of a soil mass is its susceptibility to decrease in volume under pressure and is indicated by soil characteristics like coefficient of compressibility, compression index and coefficient of consolidation. However, the determination of soil compressibility characteristics in the labs is a cumbersome and time consuming process, especially in the case of fine grained soils. In the p...
