Abstract

This article aims to evaluate the impact of logging on water, soil, and vegetation in forest stands (736; 746 affected by logging and control area 400 — without logging) — and the occurrence of herbal synusia. The NES (non-polar extractable substances) indicator exceeded limits in all surface water samples. Thirty percent of the samples taken from Forest Stand 736 exceeded NES limits. In Stand 746, the ratio was 60 %. Forest area 400 remained under NES limits. Operating fluid leaks from transport-mechanization machines, pollution from older environmental loads, and the content of humic substances are possible reasons for the increased concentration of physic-chemical indicators. The NES content did not affect the number and coverage of species in the monitored areas. The EAI (Environment Accident Index, which utilizes knowledge about ecotoxicity) index method confirmed the environmental risk of logging in the forest environment.
