Plan Direction:
Areas occupied by landings, temporary roads, and main skid trails in timber projects and timber sales should, post-project reclamation, have a minimum of 60 percent effective ground cover for distances needed on those surfaces (project specific) to protect soil resources from erosion and prevent recreational use. For soil inventory purposes, effective ground cover is expressed as a percentage of material other than bare soil on the land surface. It includes coarse woody debris, litter, duff, surface rocks (large gravels, cobbles, stones, boulders, and rock outcrop), biological crusts, and vegetation in contact with the soil. This method of estimating ground cover differs from other resource protocols.
