In order to find out (I) how forest structure is related to climatic conditions, (II) how productivity is determined by forest structure, and (III) if forest structure and productivit

Amazing story about the finding of the tallest trees of Africa by German researcher and GFBI member Andreas Hemp and his colleagues. "Reaching for the skies", by Andreas Hemp

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
