Reconciling timber extraction with biodiversity conservation in tropical forests using reduced-impact logging
Over 20% of the world's tropical forests have been selectively logged, and large expanses are allocated for future timber extraction. Reduced-impact logging (RIL) is being promoted as best practice forestry that increases sustainability and lowers CO2 emissions from logging, by reducing collateral damage associated with timber extraction. RIL is also expected to minimize the impacts of selectiv...
متن کاملChanges in Growth of Tropical Forests: Evaluating Potential Biases
Over the past century almost every ecosystem on Earth has come under the influence of changes in atmospheric composition and climate caused by human activity. Tropical forests are among the most productive and extensive ecosystems, and it has been hypothesized that both the dynamics and biomass of apparently undisturbed, old-growth tropical forests have been changing in response to atmospheric ...
متن کاملThe efficiency of different sampling methods in studies of vegetation in Central Zagros forests
There are various vegetation sampling methods regarding objectives of Management at forests. To aim of this study, we undertook a comparative study at Shineh Ghelaee protected forest at middle Zagros using single-scale sampling, single-scale sampling based on transects, and multi-scale sampling methods to investigate the herbaceous layer diversity. In order to know the situation of the region a...
متن کاملAssessing site productivity in tropical moist forests: a review
Vanclay, J.K., 1992. Assessing site productivity in tropical moist forests: a review. For. Ecol. Manage., 54:257-287. Reliable estimates of site productivity are essential for improved predictions of timber yields and for meaningful simulation studies. Few suitable techniques exist for tropical moist forests. Conventional indices such as site index cannot be estimated reliably for stands with m...
