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). | Regenerating logged-over forests have become the predominant form of tropical forest cover (Asner et al., 2009, Gaveau et al., 2014).

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

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. | |||

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===== | |||

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. | |||

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===== | |||

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===== | |||

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===== | |||

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. | |||
