摘要:In the terms of forest soil protection function and the
limitations of these functions resulting from forest works, the authors aim
was to determine the intensity and spatial range of erosion, and the volume
of soil material loss resulting by erosion processes and human activities.
The remote sensing technique – terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) was used
in the research of erosion processes occurring in the mountain forest on the
surface of the skid trails. The measurements were performed with laser
scanning resolution of 3x4 mm. Obtained points clouds have been
interpolated to the digital terrain models 1 cm, which allowed evaluating
the erosion phenomena using the method of differential models in the
period of 2011–2013. In the study it was analysed the part of the skid trail
(ca. 41 m2, ca. 35% average slope). It was determined that during the entire
research period the amount of soil material loss was ca. 1.9 m3.
The erosion processes occurred mainly in the form of sheet erosion with
volume ca. 1.3 m3. The erosion processes in the form of sheet erosion
occurred ca. 49% and 42% of trail section area, respectively. Results of the
study indicate that it is efficient to use TLS for the monitoring of the
erosion phenomena, qualitative and spatial range assessment. At the same
time, it has been proven that intensive water erosion processes can also
occur in forests.
