Assessing assemblage-wide mammal responses to different types of habitat modification in Amazonian forests

Paula C. R. Almeida-Maues et al.

Summary: This study assessed the responses of medium/large-bodied mammal assemblages to different types of habitat modification in Eastern Brazilian Amazonia. The results showed that oil palm and eucalyptus plantations had the greatest impact on the assemblages, followed by secondary regrowth and selectively logging. Selectively logged and secondary forests did not experience significant biodiversity loss, except for the total number of primary forest species retained. However, secondary forests did experience pronounced species turnover and loss of community integrity. The study further emphasized the importance of setting aside large preserved areas.

Influence of reduced-impact logging on Central Amazonian bats using a before-after-control-impact design

A. B. Castro et al.

Summary: Reduced-impact logging (RIL) has impacts on biodiversity, especially causing significant responses in animalivorous bats sensitive to environmental changes, while exerting lesser effects on phytophagous bats. Additionally, the influence of logging on bat assemblages may not only be attributed solely to logging activities, but also to other temporal factors.

Impacts to soil properties still evident 27 years after abandonment in Amazonian log landings

Daniel DeArmond et al.

Summary: Logging machinery affects site soil mainly by removing topsoil and compacting the soil. Log landings, where trees are stacked and loaded, experience severe compaction and topsoil removal. A long-term study in Amazonia found that soil compaction persisted for at least 27 years in log landings located on clayey soils.

Riparian reserves protect butterfly communities in selectively logged tropical forest

Gabriela Montejo-Kovacevich et al.

Summary: Selective logging is a common habitat disturbance in tropical forests. This study found that riparian reserves, which are mandatory conservation set-asides along rivers or streams, play an important role in protecting the abundance and composition of primary forest butterfly communities in a selective logging concession in the Brazilian Amazon. The butterfly assemblages in riparian reserves were more similar to unlogged primary forests than interior logged points, and canopy height in riparian reserves was associated with increased assemblage similarity to primary forest points.

Forest structure and solar-induced fluorescence across intact and degraded forests in the Amazon

Ekena Rangel Pinage et al.

Summary: This study explored the impact of tropical forest degradation on forest structure and function. Fire, logging, and time since disturbance were found to be major determinants of forest structure. Recently burned forests showed significantly depressed solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) during the dry season compared to intact forests. Canopy height and the vertical distribution of foliage were the best predictors of SIF. Surprisingly, wet-season SIF was higher in active regenerating forests compared to intact forests, despite lower leaf area index (LAI).

Logging intensity affects growth and lifespan trajectories for pioneer species in Central Amazonia

Daniel DeArmond et al.

Summary: Management of tropical forests through timber harvesting is a viable alternative to deforestation in the Amazon. However, the maintenance or establishment of commercial timber species is a significant challenge due to competition from fast-growing non-commercial pioneer species. A study in the Brazilian Amazon evaluated the growth and survival rates of six pioneer species over 30 years, and found that the pioneer species outcompeted commercial species throughout the evaluation period, regardless of logging intensity. Two commercial pioneer species showed rapid growth rates similar to non-commercial pioneer species, and three pioneer species were able to survive beyond 30 years. This poses challenges for sustainable forest management in maintaining or establishing commercial timber species while dealing with expanding non-commercial pioneer species after logging.

Does selective logging affect litter deposition rates in central Brazilian Amazonia?

Jarleson L. Barreiros et al.

Summary: Selective logging is a major human activity that is significantly altering tropical forests. This study investigated the effects of selective logging on litter deposition in central Brazilian Amazonia. The results suggest that the low-intensity logging had no significant impact on litter deposition, indicating that reduced-impact logging can be a viable alternative without compromising nutrient cycles.

Logging Amazon forest increased the severity and spread of fires during the 2015-2016 El Nino

Paulo Eduardo Barni et al.

Summary: Forest fires in the Amazon have been exacerbated by logging, deforestation, and prolonged droughts. A study in southern Roraima, Brazil, found that fires impacted previously unaffected areas, with severity and spread influenced by selective logging. Logging not only increased fire severity but also led to significant biomass loss, indicating the need for reevaluation of forest management practices in the region.

Summary: The study investigated the influence of coarse woody debris removal for energy generation on soil nutrients in a logging area in the Amazonas state, Brazil. It was found that debris removal does not significantly change soil physical properties but accelerates the leaching of nutrients to deeper soil depths, resulting in higher calcium contents but lower soil phosphorus levels.

Summary: The study evaluated the effects of conventional logging and reduced-impact logging on the ecomorphological structure of stream fish assemblages in the eastern Brazilian Amazon. It found significant differences in habitat characteristics, ecomorphological traits of fish assemblages, and their relationships with habitat variables between logged areas and undisturbed forests. The results suggest that logging practices, including reduced-impact logging, should be reviewed to minimize human disturbances in streams.

Tolerant semiaquatic bugs species (Heteroptera: Gerromorpha) are associated to pasture and conventional logging in the Eastern Amazon

Alana Patricia Meguy Guterres et al.

Summary: The study found that pastures and conventional logging lead to higher environmental heterogeneity and alpha diversity, while these treatments result in different species composition and distribution patterns compared to forests. On the other hand, forests and reduced-impacted logging areas did not show differences in habitat characteristics, environmental heterogeneity, alpha diversity, composition, and species distribution patterns, indicating that reduced-impacted logging can maintain a considerable amount of habitat integrity and Gerromorpha assemblage composition.

Summary: Selective logging has been widely used in tropical forests management due to its low impact on biodiversity. This study investigated the impact of selective logging on termite communities, finding that time post-management affected termite species composition, with wood-feeding termites more abundant in recently logged areas. However, natural variation in soil clay content had a greater influence on termite species richness and composition.

Climate change alters the ability of neotropical forests to provide timber and sequester carbon

Ulrike Hiltner et al.

Summary: Selective logging and climate change have significant combined effects on biomass stocks and timber harvest in tropical forests, with repeated logging impacting biomass and timber supply irrespective of climate change intensity. Moderate climate change leads to a slight decrease in average biomass, while intensive climate change can result in a substantial decrease. The combination of selective logging and climate change increases the likelihood of changes in forest dynamics, with rising temperatures playing a key role in driving these changes.
