| Abstract | At present, forest plantations are the only source of wood in Thailand, thus logging is important. However, most plantation areas located on high ground make soil erosion easily. Since there is not much research on the effect of logging, this research is interested in studying the impact of the cutting out of wood by selection cutting on the soil erosion rates in 4 plantation areas. The main objective is to consider the impact of land use (changing from teak plantation area to the area that has been cutting out followed by the land use similar to degraded deciduous forest) on soil erosion. The results from this study illustrate that the soil erosion rates after cutting out of wood by selection cutting in all of 4 plantation areas were increased around 2.84 times of soil erosion before cutting wood. Soil erosion rates at Khun Mae Kham Me, Ma Khampong, Mae Sa Roi, and Wang Chin forest park were 78.79, 120.39, 68.36, and 60.38 tons/ha/year, respectively. These are related to the decrease of cover plant in the surface soil, which is one of the factors that protects soil surface and reduces soil erosion rate. Consequently, before cutting out of wood, we should consider carefully and appropriately about the impact that may occur in the future. |
