Sustaining conservation values in selectively logged tropical forests: the attained and the attainable
Most tropical forests outside protected areas have been or will be selectively logged so it is
essential to maximize the conservation values of partially harvested areas. Here we …

[HTML][HTML] Thresholds of logging intensity to maintain tropical forest biodiversity
Primary tropical forests are lost at an alarming rate, and much of the remaining forest is
being degraded by selective logging [1–5]. Yet, the impacts of logging on biodiversity remain …
