Abstract
An investigation on residual stand damages due to log skidding using a skidding tractor was carried out at one logging company in Central Kalimantan in 2012. The objective is to find out information about residual stand damages on trees, poles, and sapling caused by Conventional Log Skidding (CLS system) and Low Impact Log Skidding (LILS system). Data on stand potency consists of tree, pole and sapling levels as well as the number of trees felled were collected. The investigation revealed that damage to the level of standing trees, poles, and sapling skidding caused by CLS system at PT Gunung Meranti was 11.40% (Coefficient of variation/CV) 7.95%; 9.53% (CV 14.74%) and 14.84% (CV 16.92%), respectively. The average damage of standing trees, poles and sapling caused by LILS system in PT Gunung Meranti respectively was 9.85% (CV 14.00%); 7.54% (CV 9.81%) and 12,55% (CV 16.60%). LILS system could reduce the damages to the standing trees.
