forest fires. The soil loss in the disturbed forest accounts for the vast majority of the soil mobilized during the first four years after the vegetation disturbance. It also forms a high share of the long-term soil mobilization (ca. 20.1% of the total soil loss modelled for a 30-year period). An additional run of the USLE model forthe disturbed forestlands under the assumption of the absence of forest harvesting and fires resulted in an average soil erosion of
