The impacts of selective logging and restoration on trees in a lowland tropical forest in Sabah, Malaysia
Selective logging has degraded large areas of tropical forest. However, disturbed forests are important refugia for biodiversity and recover biomass over time, especially when aided by active restoration. Yet we know relatively little about the effects of logging and restoration on long-term seedlings dynamics and future tree communities. Here, I investigate differences in forest structure and tree community composition at different life-stages across unlogged, naturally regenerating (NR) and actively restored (AR) forests in Danum Valley, Malaysian Borneo, 23-39 years after logging and 12-28...
