There has been increasing recognition of the potential impact of industrial logging on forests and tree resources that are of importance to the livelihoods of forest-dependent populations in the tropics (Ndoye and Tieguhong, 2004; Tieguhong and Ndoye, 2007; Guariguata et al., 2010; Rist et al., 2012). In the Congo Basin forest, the second largest remaining block of rainforest after the Amazonian forests, more than 44 million hectares have been allocated to commercial logging companies under various lease arrangements (Megevand, 2013). | There has been increasing recognition of the potential impact of industrial logging on forests and tree resources that are of importance to the livelihoods of forest-dependent populations in the tropics (Ndoye and Tieguhong, 2004; Tieguhong and Ndoye, 2007; Guariguata et al., 2010; Rist et al., 2012).

Wind disturbance is the main natural driver of forest dynamics in Central and Northern Europe, but little is known regarding the general patterns of tree regeneration following windthrow in this region. On the basis of 89 windthrow gaps, we quantified natural tree regeneration 10 and 20 years after wind disturbance, and identified the factors influencing tree regeneration dynamics, with a special emphasis on the post-storm management practices “salvage logging” and “no intervention”. | |||
