These processes can be particularly expressed upon completion of forest harvesting works if natural conditions also have such character which favors intensification of erosion process. Intensification of erosion processes on tractor roads in post-exploitation period most often occur in cases when surface water appears on ruts. More intensive coverage occurs in cases when tree crowns do not cover tractor roads, i.e. if larger opening (of forest crop) is in close vicinity of tractor road, which enables larger presence of light and more intensive vegetation growth. This document applies erosion process intensity degree method and assessment of degree of coverage or coverage by litter. For assessment we used a scale from 1 to 5 (REBULA, 1991). Erosion intensity degree on observed locations goes from 1,86 to 3,73. Coverage of tractor roads by grass vegetation or coverage by litter is in range from 4,91 to 1,86.
