The main objective of this study was to assess the ecological and economical sustainability of selective logging in the Amazonian context. Two sites were selected: 1) the site of Paracou in French Guiana where forest dynamics has been monitored since 1984; 2) a forest managed in the state of Pará, offering data on the impact of logging, its costs and revenues. At first, this work consisted of improving the Selva model elaborating 11 specific models to mortality and recruitment. The processes of standing dead trees and falling trees were identified by the models. The former mainly used biological variables characteristic of the tree whereas the latter preferentially included descriptive variables of the surrounding stand. Specific variables ...
