Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Accumulated tree volume was 52–80% lower on snig tracks than controls.
- Observation Soil bulk density was 20–23% higher in snig tracks.
- Observation Soil organic carbon fell by 22–33% on snig tracks.
- Observation Soil total N fell by 28–32% on snig tracks.
- Observation Soil total P fell by 3–11% on snig tracks.
- Observation Transitional zones did not differ significantly from controls in soil physical or chemical properties.
- Observation Tree growth in transitional zones exceeded controls by 30–100%.
- Mechanism Average diameter and height contributed minimally to improved growth.
- Observation Transitional zone productivity compensated for much of the snig track loss after 17–23 years.
- Observation Overall stand productivity loss from snig tracks was approximately 2–3%.
