is.evaluation.notesThis study compares the impact of selective logging on plant communities by comparing with primary forest. Interesting comparison, although it would have been more interesting to compare 'certified selective logging' with 'convential logging'.
is.evaluation.quotesThe diversity index used as indicators the stability regeneration for all growth stage offorest community showed that were still floristically very diverse and indicated that theselectively logged forest sites effected the abundance of species rather than species richnessitself.
is.evaluation.quotesWe found differences in species composition and abundance of most plants betweenselectively logged and primary forest. Overall, stem densities of trees in the primary forestwere higher than in the three selectively logged forest sites. Stem densities of saplings wereequivalent in all four forests. Seedling stem densities were higher in the forest site logged10 years previously than in primary forest.
is.evaluation.quotesOur results showed that the forests loggedselectively under certified regimes still have a high plant diversity, possibly indicating thatbiodiversity values may be conserved by following certification procedures.
