TL;DR: In this article, a logging system involving the use of planned systematically aligned skid-trails combined with directional felling was tested, and compared with the conventional unplanned logging (CL) practiced in the area.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared two types of logging (both with and without pre-cutting climbers): conventional selective logging (CL) and supervised logging (SL), and found significant differences in the residual stands left by the logging systems, with respect to the number of dipterocarps and their basal area in the diameter class 10 − 29 cm; ca 30% more stems being found after SL.

TL;DR: The Forest Observation System (FOS) initiative as discussed by the authors is an international cooperation to establish and maintain a global in situ forest biomass database for monitoring the Earth's ecosystems and climate.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that academic forestry is not a discipline in its own right like botany or zoology but multidisciplinary, akin to engineering and medicine, and it still embraces many other elements of natural sciences, as well as some economic, social and environmental sciences, engineering, policy, management and business studies.
