Reduced-impact logging and post-harvest management in the Atlantic Forest of Argentina: Alternative approaches to enhance regeneration and growth of canopy trees
Selective logging is the most common method of timber extraction in native tropical and subtropical forests, including the Atlantic Forest of South America. Uncontrolled conventional logging has resulted in impoverished forests that have lost much of their economical value and biodiversity. In poorl...
