is.evaluation.counterfactsYes
is.evaluation.findingsThe level of forest complexity, as described by forest composition and structure, in 25-years old logged certified forests was lower than in reference forests.
is.evaluation.findingsTotal volume of timber was lower in 25-years old logged certified forests than in reference forests.
is.evaluation.findingsTree diversity was lower in 25-years old logged certified forests than in reference forests.
is.evaluation.findingsForest structure, as described with basal area, was not different between 25-years old logged certified forests and reference forests.
is.evaluation.findingsThere was no difference in species diversity of young trees between 25-years old logged certified forests and reference forests.
is.evaluation.findingsMean tree height was lower in 25-years old logged certified forests than in reference forests.
is.evaluation.findingsAfter harvest, canopy openess in 20-25 years old certified forests remain in the same range as that of reference forests.
is.evaluation.findingsThe authors suggest that an extension of rotation period to 30-40 -year would allow harvested forests to attain similar structure, compositions and volumes of baseline forests.
is.evaluation.notesThe authors suggest that an extension of rotation period to 30-40 -year would allow harvested forests to attain similar structure, compositions and volumes of baseline forests.
is.evaluation.outcomeyes
is.evaluation.quotes"Results suggest that the forest structure in secondary stands follows a natural regeneration dynamic over the rotation period but had not yet attained the same structure and composition as baseline forests at 25 years."
is.evaluation.scopeThis study investigates forest regeneration in FSC-certified Mangroves in Indonesia. The authors ask whether the currently implemented 25-year rotation period allows natural regeneration to reach levels of forest structure and biodiversity that are found in forests not harvested.
