Mapping low-intensity selective logging across the Peruvian Amazon [PDF]
Environmental Research LettersSelective logging is a major driver of tropical forest degradation and is estimated to span over 400 million hectares of tropical forest. Despite widely available forest monitoring tools that effectively map deforestation, accurate and scalable remote ...

Forest dynamics under different levels of selective logging in the middle Magdalena River (Colombia)
Colombia Forestal, 2016 Selective logging is a growing forestry activity with less impact on biodiversity than complete deforestation. Despite this, both the magnitude and the direction of ecological change after logging, strongly depend on the intensity, and subsequent ...

A Machine Learning Approach to Map Tropical Selective Logging [PDF]
Remote Sensing of Environment, 2018 Abstract Hundreds of millions of hectares of tropical forest have been selectively logged, either legally or illegally. Methods for detecting and monitoring tropical selective logging using satellite data are at an early stage, with current methods only able to detect more intensive timber harvest (>20 m

Effect of Experimental Selective Logging on Tropical Butterflies
Conservation Biology, 2001 Abstract: I investigated the effects of an experimental selective logging regime on the assemblage of fruit‐feeding butterflies in replicated experimental plots in the Chiquibul Forest, Belize. Over a 12‐month period, I caught 1187 individuals of 49 species using fruit‐baited traps.

Selective logging destabilizes the functioning and composition of forest ecosystems at multiple spatial scales [PDF]
, 2023 Selective logging is one of the most prevalent land uses of forests worldwide, affecting biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. However, the effect of selective logging on the dual nature of temporal stability, and the scale dependence of this effect,

Influence of deforestation, logging, and fire on malaria in the Brazilian Amazon. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Malaria is a significant public health threat in the Brazilian Amazon. Previous research has shown that deforestation creates breeding sites for the main malaria vector in Brazil, Anopheles darlingi, but the influence of selective logging, forest fires ...

Does selective logging affect litter deposition rates in central Brazilian Amazonia?
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022 Selective logging is one of the main human activities that are drastically modifying tropical forests around the world. Reduced-impact logging emerged as a rational model of timber harvesting that reduces the impacts on the ecosystems and contributes to ...

An Assessment of Selective Logging Policies and Practices in Nepal
, 2022 The efficient use of forest goods and services is crucial for sustainable forest management (SFM). The selective logging (SL) is one of the dominant forest harvesting practices and contributes nearly 15% of global timber need.
