2021, Resources, Conservation and RecyclingCitation Excerpt :However, a rather small fraction of the total biomass (3–9 trees per hectare) (Nepstad et al., 1999; Veríssimo et al., 1992; Asner et al., 2005; Asner et al., 2002; Gerwing and Vidal, 2002; Johns et al., 1996; Keller et al., 2001) exhibits commercial value. The logging of selected commercial trees is accompanied by the construction of roads and trails to access and transport the harvested trees and the clearing of spaces to store log piles of felled trees (Johns et al., 1996; Pearson et al., 2014; Macpherson et al., 2010; Feldpausch et al., 2005; Sist and Ferreira, 2007; Uhl et al., 1997; Uhl et al., 1991), thus resulting in significant habitat degradation. Therefore, selective logging generates significantly high quantities of unaccounted residues which severely impact the estimation of carbon flows (Johns et al., 1996; Numazawa et al., 2017; Huang and Asner, 2010; Silva et al., 1995; Feldpausch et al., 2004; Houghton et al., 2000; Vieira et al., 2005).

2015, Spatial StatisticsCitation Excerpt :In the Brazilian Amazonian forests, selective logging for timber is a major source of forest degradation (Uhl et al., 1991). Adverse effects of selective logging on the Amazonian forests include damages to forest phenology (Koltunov et al., 2009), increasing vulnerability of a forest to fire (Gerwing, 2002; Fearnside, 2005), forest fragmentation (Broadbent et al., 2008) and wide spread of deforestation (Uhl et al., 1991; Fearnside, 2005). An important challenge faced by forest researchers is to detect and analyse the locations and patterns of forest perforations caused by selective logging for timber.
