- •
Physical, chemical and biological soil features were only in part impacted by silvicultural treatment applied.
- •
Bulk density (+39%) and microarthropods density (−9%) are the 2 characteristics impacted by silvicultural treatment applied.
- •
This study demonstrated that in about 10 years (after the treatment) there was a good recovery of the soil conditions.
