The globally important carbon sink of intact, old-growth tropical humid forests is declining
because of climate change, deforestation and degradation from fire and logging …

Tropical forest degradation from selective logging, fire and edge effects is a major driver of
carbon and biodiversity loss,–, with annual rates comparable to those of deforestation …

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 …

Selective logging has affected large areas of tropical forests and there is increasing interest
in how to manage selectively logged forests to enhance recovery. However, the impacts of …

Timber extraction threatens a vast area of tropical ecosystems, making it vital to design
productive harvesting operations that limit biodiversity declines. Contrasting management …

Tropical forests are under threat of increasing pressure from income-generating land uses.
Selective logging is a compromise that allows use of the land while leaving much of the …

Abstract Evaluation and monitoring of forest biomass are important to help combat global
warming and conserve biodiversity. Above ground biomass (AGB) mapping has been …

Logged-over forests comprise a large proportion of tropical forest landscapes, but questions
remain on how to fully describe and understand the regeneration of these forests and which …

Tropical forest disturbance contributes to global climate change from increased carbon
emissions, and causes loss of biodiversity. Thus, identifying its direct causes and underlying …

Global timber demands have penetrated vast tracts of tropical rainforest, with selective
logging the most powerful driver of human disturbance within these ecosystems. We review …
