Descripción
Compiling information on forest harvesting intensity is essential to the discussion of sustainable forest management. This paper presents a bibliographic synthesis of important literature on logging impacts and reduced impact logging in tropical forests. The emphasis is on statistics which contribute to the Global Fibre Supply Study such as logging intensities, cutting cycles and harvesting waste, residual stand development and site damage in non-coniferous tropical forests. This review was th en used to provide background information for the modelling work explained in Working Paper No. 5 in this series.
