Quantifying uncertainty about forest recovery 32-years after logging in Suriname
Tropical forests managed principally for timber production, if logging is well done, provides important carbon storage and sequestration services. Forestry practices that reduce damage to the forest during and after logging, can help maintain and promote timber stock recovery as well as carbon storage and carbon sequestration services.
In this study we evaluated the performance of the CELOS timber harvest system as it relates to the time needed to recover timber and carbon
