Reduced Impact Logging in Tropical Forests The Forestry Department of FAO recently published the
Forest Harvesting and Engineering Working Paper No. 1 entitled "Reduced Impact
Logging in Tropical Forests". With slightly more than 300 entries, it is
considerably easier to navigate than the Internet. The Working Paper presents a
literature synthesis and analysis, and on 16 pages (Appendix 1) definitions of
words that you have heard before but where never quite sure what they meant or
how to define them yourself. Appendix 2 includes tabular summaries on location,
descriptive information, logging intensity and cycle, residual density and
utilization, site damage, economic aspects and the source of the information. A
summary of each publication reviewed can be found in Appendix 3. Almost 300
pages of invaluable information! |
