DOI: 10.1007/s00226-019-01111-1
Abstract: Using chemical fingerprints for timber species identification is a relatively new, but promising technique. However, little is known about the effect of pre-processing spectral data parameter settings on the timber species classification accuracy. Therefore, this… read more here.

A Natural Forest of Commercial Timber Species: Logging or Not Logging
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Small-scale Forestry"
DOI: 10.1007/s11842-018-9403-8
Abstract: Most tropical forests outside protected areas have been or will be selectively logged because the timber industry is a main income-generating resource for many developing countries. Therefore, understanding the composition of commercial timber species and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41437-024-00709-x
Abstract: Selfing or mating between related individuals can lead to inbreeding depression (ID), which can influence the survival, growth and evolution of populations of tree species. As selective logging involves a decrease in the density of… read more here.

Planting high‐value timber species in log yards in a Central African rainforest
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Restoration Ecology"
DOI: 10.1111/rec.70265
Abstract: Planting high‐value timber species in logged forests can contribute to long‐term wood availability. Although log yards, forest clearings where harvested logs are temporarily stored, may be suitable planting areas for light‐demanding timber species, soil compaction… read more here.
