DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2017.10.001
Abstract: Abstract It is generally accepted that selective logging significantly influences the vegetation coverage and habitat structures, but little is known about whether and how low intensity selective logging affects seed dispersal mediated by small rodents.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2019.01.049
Abstract: Abstract To estimate carbon emissions from selective logging in Central Africa, we employed the reduced-impact logging for carbon emissions reductions (RIL-C) protocol to quantify baseline carbon emissions from legal timber harvests by source (i.e., hauling,… read more here.

Carbon emissions and potential emissions reductions from low-intensity selective logging in southwestern Amazonia
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Forest Ecology and Management"
DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2019.02.037
Abstract: Abstract Forests in southwestern Amazonia are increasingly being converted for agriculture, mining, and infrastructure development; subjected to low-intensity selective logging of high value timber species; and designated as conservation areas and indigenous reserves. To understand… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2019.03.045
Abstract: Abstract The effects of selective logging on canopy height were studied in a lowland tropical rain forest in Pasoh Forest Reserve, Peninsular Malaysia. Canopy height was measured in 2003 and 2011 by using an airborne… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2019.117522
Abstract: Abstract Although disturbances associated with selective logging can cause pronounced changes in soil characteristics and nutrient stocks, such information is very limited for highly weathered soils in Africa. We assessed the effects of reduced impact… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2019.117623
Abstract: Abstract Riparian forests have cool and humid microclimates, and one aim of leaving forested buffer strips between clear-cut areas and streams is to conserve these microclimatic conditions. We used an experimental study set up of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gecco.2021.e01642
Abstract: Abstract Tropical forest ecosystems are the most species-rich in the world and face intense pressures from land conversion. If done well, selective logging can be an important way of supporting local economies while minimally impacting… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rse.2018.04.009
Abstract: Abstract Tropical forest disturbance (such as selective logging and fire) along with deforestation have significant contributions to the carbon source due to land-use change and anthropogenic CO2 emissions, and thus envisioned by United Nation's REDD+… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rse.2021.112411
Abstract: Abstract Selective logging is the primary driver of forest degradation in the tropics and reduces the capacity of forests to harbour biodiversity, maintain key ecosystem processes, sequester carbon, and support human livelihoods. While the preceding… read more here.
