Half of the world’s tropical forests are designated by national forest services as production forests. While there have been numerous studies on the impact of deforestation on carbon emissions and biodiversity loss in the tropics, the long-term impacts of selective logging are still poorly studied. However, the importance of these production forests is increasing. Not only must they meet the growing tropical timber demand, but their role in carbon storage and the biodiversity conservation is increasingly recognized. The studies developed in this thesis are threefold. First, a carbon balance model of logging is developed, and regional differences in post-logging carbon recovery dynamics are modelled. Secondly, a timber volume recovery model ...
