Description

The purpose of this study was to determine actual amount of sediment productions of paved (PFR) and unpaved (UPFR) forest roads at different longitudinal slope groups (2-4%, 4-6%, 6-8%, 8-12%) were compared to undisturbed forest land (UA) in Kastamonu-Arac of Turkey with the help of the sediment traps. It was determinated that the total annual amount of sediments from the UPFR was found to be significantly higher than the amounts of sediments from the PFR and UA according to the slope groups. There were statistically significant differences between the amounts of sedimentation from the forest roads sides and within the UA (0.05
