Sustainable production of timber from commercial species across felling cycles is a core challenge for tropical silviculture. In this study, we analysed how the intensity and type (harvesting and thinning) of silvicultural interventions affect: (a) recruitment of small stems (5 cm ⩽ DBH < 15 cm), (b) increment of future crop trees (15 cm ⩽ DBH < 50 cm) and (c) recovery of harvestable growing stocks (DBH ⩾ 50 cm) of 52 commercial timber species in the Tapajós National Forest, Brazil.

=====Applying ecological knowledge to decisions about seed tree retention in selective logging in tropical forests=====

[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0378112708002223 by Joberto Veloso de Freitas 20/9/08 ScienceDirect]

In production forests in the moist tropics, trees are selected for felling or retention primarily by species and size. Tree regeneration requirements and forest stand responses to harvesting are often ignored, and consequently, the regeneration of the residual forest is not ensured.

=====Tree growth and aboveground biomass in a tropical mountain forest thirty years after selective logging in Sarawak, Borneo=====

[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2351989421000111 by Renee Sherna Laing 20/9/08 ScienceDirect]

Tropical mountain forests are vital components of global floristic diversity as well as the hydrological cycle but have been extensively exploited. However, the impacts of human disturbances on changes in biomass and regional forest variation are not well documented in tropical mountainous regions.

=====Acidifying effect of removal of tree stumps and logging residues as compared to atmospheric deposition=====

[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0378112712003519 by Johan Iwald 15/2/13 ScienceDirect]

Harvesting of stumps and logging residues for bioenergy can be expected to increase in the future. An increased biomass export from the forest will increase the biological acidification, measured as net cation (cations–anions) export. The aim of this study is to estimate the acidifying effect that various levels of harvesting of tree stumps and logging residues will have in Sweden, and compare this with the acidification currently caused by acid deposition. Estimations of yearly logging of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) and birch (Betula spp.) on county-level were made based on scenario data from forestry consequence analyses and data from the Swedish National Forest Inventory.

=====Effect of bark beetle outbreak and salvage logging on tree-related microhabitats in Białowieża Forest=====

[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0378112725002191?dgcid=rss_sd_all by Flora van Eupen 15/6/25 ScienceDirect]

Tree related microhabitats (TreMs) are key resources for forest biodiversity. Natural disturbances, such as bark beetle outbreaks, can influence forest structure and stand properties, potentially altering the composition of TreM communities.

=====Changes in tree functional composition and forest functioning ten years after logging and thinning interventions in Bornean tropical forests=====

[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0378112721010410 by Ni Putu Diana Mahayani 15/2/22 ScienceDirect]

Regenerating logged-over forests have become the predominant form of tropical forest cover (Asner et al., 2009, Gaveau et al., 2014). Despite being altered, logged forests can continue to maintain high biological diversity and provide important ecological services (Cannon et al., 1998, Mazzei et al., 2010, Berry et al., 2010, Edwards et al., 2011, Chaudhary et al., 2016). Often, the conservation value of logged forests depends on the logging practices applied because it determines the forest structure after logging, which strongly impacts their regrowth capacity and trajectory (Sist and Nguyen-Thé, 2002, Slik et al., 2002, Piponiot et al., 2016).

Harpy Eagle (Harpia harpyja) nest tree selection: Selective logging in Amazon forest threatens Earth's largest eagle=====

[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0006320720308120 by Everton B.P. Miranda 10/20 ScienceDirect]

Characterizing wildlife conservation problems is essential to properly inform conservation planning, and requires detailed knowledge on critical life stages, such as reproduction.

=====Tree hollows and forest stand structure in Australian warm temperate Eucalyptus forests are adversely affected by logging more than wildfire=====

[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0378112714007300 by Christopher M. McLean 1/4/15 ScienceDirect]

Ecologically sustainable forest management aims to maintain biodiversity values within managed forest ecosystems. A key habitat component within Australian forest ecosystems are hollow-bearing trees which are crucially important for fauna species requiring tree hollows for diurnal shelter and nesting. The effect of disturbance regimes, in particular logging and fire, on hollow dynamics is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to determine the relationships between logging intensity and fire frequency on hollow abundance and forest stand structural attributes in two different eastern Australian Eucalyptus forest types.

=====Erasing a European biodiversity hot-spot: Open woodlands, veteran trees and mature forests succumb to forestry intensification, succession, and logging in a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve=====

[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1617138113000794 by Jan Miklín 2/14 ScienceDirect]

Open woodlands are among the biologically richest habitats of the temperate zone.

=====Assessing spatial patterns of burn severity for guiding post-fire salvage logging in boreal forests of Eastern Canada=====

[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378112724000689 by Victor Danneyrolles 15/3/24 scienceDirect]

Areas affected by forest fires are increasing worldwide, making salvage logging (i.e., harvesting fire-affected trees) an increasingly used practice to reduce the economic impacts of fire on forestry. However, salvage logging can have strong ecological impacts, notably on post-fire forest regeneration and biodiversity. Burn severity (i.e., the degree to which fires impact the vegetation and soil) is also a central element that interacts with pre-fire forest characteristics and salvages logging to control post-fire forest dynamics and biodiversity.

=====The effects of selective logging on forest structure and tree species composition in a Central African forest: implications for management of conservation areas=====

[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0378112703001075 by Jefferson S Hall 15/9/03 ScienceDirect]

The forests of Central Africa enjoy world-wide recognition for their spectacular wildlife and also harbor an abundance of high quality timber. With mismanagement and the conversion of large tracts of West African forest to agricultural production, Central African forests are experiencing increased harvesting pressures. This is particularly true for species of African mahogany (Entandrophragma spp.).

=====Reduced-impact logging for climate change mitigation (RIL-C) can halve selective logging emissions from tropical forests=====

[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378112718322126 by Peter W. Ellis 15/4/19 ScienceDirect]

Improved natural forest management represents a potentially large natural climate solution to global climate change, but this mitigation opportunity is highly uncertain (Griscom et al., 2017). Reduced-impact logging (RIL)—a set of improved timber harvesting guidelines for selectively logged natural forests—is of particular interest because of its relative low costs and numerous co-benefits. The carbon benefits of RIL have been studied at numerous sites across the tropics (e.g., Feldpausch et al., 2005, Medjibe et al., 2011, Pearson et al., 2014) as are the benefits to biodiversity (Bicknell et al., 2014). However, to our knowledge only one study (Putz et al., 2008b) estimated the pantropical climate mitigation potential of RIL, but it was based on field data from only two sites (Keller et al., 2004, Pinard and Putz, 1996).

=====Vine management for reduced-impact logging in eastern Amazonia=====

[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0378112797000510 by Edson Vidal 3/11/97 ScienceDirect]

The presence of vines interconnecting the canopies of tropical forest trees has been thought to increase the damage to neighboring trees when a tree is felled during selective logging, resulting in larger canopy gaps and possibly prejudicting future timber harvests.
