Synopsis (short abstract) Extensive damage to the residual stand does occur in Tropical High Forest during harvesting of the initial crop. The extent of damage is influenced both by the intensity of logging and the degree of skill directed to the planning and execution of the various operations involved. The aspects of logging technique which contribute to damage are discussed and results are presented from two studies carried out in an area of mixed Dipterocarp Hill Forest in Sarawak.

    Compiling information on forest harvesting intensity is essential to the discussion of sustainable forest management. This paper presents a bibliographic synthesis of important literature on logging impacts and reduced impact logging in tropical forests. The emphasis is on statistics which contribute to the Global Fibre Supply Study such as logging intensities, cutting cycles and harvesting waste, residual stand development and site damage in non-coniferous tropical forests. This review was th en used to provide background information for the modelling work explained in Working Paper No. 5 in this series.
