摘要: Abstract The objective of this study was to analyze soil surface disturbances resulting from logging tractors, different types (skidder and forwarder), used for clear-cutting in natural Aleppo pine forests their consequences on plant species functional group diversity. Results indicate that shallow (litter left place or removed) were more frequent than deep (topsoil removed, subsoil exposed, rut exposed) regardless the tractor used. with previously cultivated terraces least disturbed. Moreover, aid a analysis we distinguished four response groups disturbance types. mosaic created by these after log removal probably contributes rapid auto-regeneration mixed community similar existing just prior clear-cutting.
