Advantages: It only cuts down the valuable trees that are needed meaning it leaves a larger range of biodiversity.

Disadvantages: Selective logging can harm the trees surrounding the ones being targeted which can be more disastrous than normal logging as it can cause diseases through the trees. On average, for every tree that is cut down for selective logging, 4 more are injured and are left. that is a large waste of wood, meaning they have to cut down more trees to make up for the wasted wood.

How is selective logging sustainable in the rainforest?

· Selective logging is a method of cutting only selected trees. The trees that they cut down are usually one that has been marked by a forester (logger). This is better than clear cutting because selective logging only picks out one or two trees from an area. This is good because it leaves the unwanted trees unharmed and doesn't damage the ground.


What 3 types of logging are there?

The three main types of logging are informational logging (providing general information about the application's operations), warning logging (highlighting potential issues that could impact the application), and error logging (capturing specific errors or exceptions that occur during the application's execution).


How does selective logging add to the problem?

It doesn't! Selective logging is a awesome method of caring for our forest while protecting the environment. In the United States and North America in general, selective logging has allowed the addition of more timber then 100 years ago in every measurable way. Acres, board feet of timber and total number of trees have all increased, in part, due to this great method of harvesting trees. Harvested trees also increase our carbon sink as these trees are used in the construction of buildings and other things that last. The tree is replaced and the timber harvested is kept from rotting, which produces the same level of CO2 as burning the tree.


Benefits of legal logging?

Legal logging helps ensure the sustainability of forests by regulating the amount and type of trees that can be harvested. It also contributes to the economy by providing jobs and income for communities that rely on the forestry industry. Additionally, legal logging can help prevent deforestation and protect biodiversity by promoting responsible forest management practices.


Types of illegal logging?

Illegal logging occurs all over the world, and it consists of taking lumber when it is a violation of the law to do so. It's illegal because it can cause great harm to the environment, and possibly to human heath.

What are the positives of selective logging?

The positives of selective logging are that is it more aesthically pleasing (nicer to look at) than clearcutting. It also leaves a seed souce, slows and controls erosion, but it is expensive.


Why is it difficult to control selective logging?

It is difficult to monitor logging and detect illegal logging activities due to lack of manpower and remoteness of forested areas.

What is selective logging?

Selective logging : removal of certain trees in a stand as defined by specific criteria (species, diameter at breastheight, or height and form). It is analogous to high grading. Not to be confused with the selection silvicultural system.Selective logging will leave some trees standing, which allows for natural regrowth, less impact on the wildlife, and less ugly patches in the landscape.


What different methods are used in deforestation?

Different methods of deforestation include clear-cutting, selective logging, burning, and bulldozing. Clear-cutting involves removing all trees in an area, while selective logging targets specific tree species. Burning is often used to clear land quickly, and bulldozing involves pushing trees over and uprooting them.

What does Clear Fell Logging Mean?

Clear fell logging is the type of timber extraction where all the trees are felled. Selective logging is an alternative, where only specific trees are extracted, or where a few type specimens are left to provide seed for the next generation of forest.
