Abstract
Forest soils are a crucial node for the various environmental and technological processes in the managed forest. In the paper authors review the compexity of the impacts on the forest ecosystem caused by road construction and logging operations and discuss the future research activities in that field. The interdiciplinary approach is emphasized and research priorities are suggested. The studies are needed where structural parameters of the soils are related to the plant vitality. This will help us to understand the forests response on the impacts and enable us to develope the practical techniques for soil and stand protection during forest operations.
