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.
