主　　题：Residual tree damage Beech Skidding trails Wood harvesting Greece 

摘      要：We studied the damage caused to unfelled trees during skidding operations in four beech stands of northern and central Greece that were managed under differing harvesting *** timber was harvested we recorded and analyzed all damage to a width of 2 m along both sides of the skid *** percentage of damaged residual trees was 17–28 %.Higher numbers of saplings were uprooted or destroyed in parts of the stands with high natural *** damaged trees suffered 1.33–1.90 wounds that were inflicted up to a height of 1 m above ground *** all sites mean wound sizes were large,89–1190 cm2,and caused elevated risk of future fungal *** damage caused by skidding during timber harvesting can be minimized by better planning the harvest operations,and training forest workers in reduced impact logging.
