Forest roads are a common land use feature with significant impact on sediment yield and the water transport processes within watershed, seriously disrupting safety stability of watershed. Previous studies have focused production road prism. However, there has been limited attention given to road-eroded at various scales, which is crucial for understanding off-site effects erosion. This paper reviews research conducted forest erosion over past two decades. It summarizes mechanisms from provides detailed analysis eroded sediments streams watershed scale. The also examines ecological hydrological effects, methods, control measures related caused by identifies current limitations outlines future directions. findings this review highlight several key points: (1) Most tends be specific unilateral, often neglecting broader interaction between in terms water–sediment dynamics. (2) Various methods employed study erosion, including field monitoring, artificial simulation experiments, prediction models. Each method its advantages disadvantages, but integration emerging technologies like laser scanning fingerprint recognition remains underutilized, hindering simultaneous achievement convenience accuracy. (3) sediment, particularly road–stream slopes, influenced numerous factors, terrain, soil, vegetation. These exhibit spatial temporal variability, precise quantification efficiency stream challenging due lack long-term stable investigation monitoring methods. establishment operation runoff plots sedimentation basins may help offer solution challenge. (4) Both biological engineering proven effective reducing limiting transport. costs economic benefits associated these regulation require further investigation. comprehensive summary relevant unpaved roads, enhancing our watersheds offering valuable insights streams.

Soil erosion associated with roads—A global review and statistical analysis

Land Degradation and Development, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 35(11), P. 3509 - 3522

Published: May 22, 2024

Abstract Global soil degradation due to road erosion is an escalating concern. This study employed bibliometric analysis using the Science Citation Index‐Expanded dataset gain insights into research trends in erosion. It covered years 2000–2021, revealing a steady increase annual publications, particularly after 2018. The United States and Catena was leading contributor most popular journal, respectively. primary areas identified by keywords statistical are forests arid regions temperate climate zone (including continental monsoon climate) tropical rainforest climate). Since 2012, noticeable shift from traditional methods emerging technologies like isotope tracing (e.g., 137 Cs, 210 Pb) machine learning random forest) observed, indicating evolving methodologies with changes scales. emphasized inevitability of erosion, highlighting crucial role effective management restoration. proposed integrating best practices ecosystem restoration strategies watershed management, combined advanced technological approaches, foster sustainable development.
