Public deliverable out now! Establishment of terrain accessibility maps for 4 case study areas
/0 Comments/in Frontpage Article, News /by TECH4EFFECTForest soils can be disturbed or even damaged by a range of activities, most prominently in the form of soil compaction and soil displacement, frequently resulting in rutting. This may cause massive drawbacks on permanent accessibility to forest stands and a deterioration of future growing potential. Also, tree diseases (such as root rot) could spread […]
