Carbon flux as necromass is an important component of the regional carbon cycle for mature undisturbed (Chambers and Schimel, 2001) and selectively logged tropical forests (Keller et al., 2004). Selective logging contributes to necromass fluxes through forest damage as well as a net export of carbon as logs. Forest management provides opportunities both to reduce necromass fluxes and to retain carbon stocks in vegetation and soils (Pinard and Putz, 1996). Improved harvest methods such as reduced impact logging (RIL) can lessen damage to the forest (Johns et al., | Carbon flux as necromass is an important component of the regional carbon cycle for mature undisturbed (Chambers and Schimel, 2001) and selectively logged tropical forests (Keller et al., 2004).

Removal of canopy trees by logging causes shifts in herbaceous diversity and increases invasibility of the forest understory. However, disturbed (cut) trees of many species do not die but resprout from remaining parts. | |||
