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.

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?
There are 3 types of logging: 1. Clear-cutting....worst 2. Selective....best 3. Shelter-wood....good
What are the advantages of selective logging?
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.
Benefits of legal logging?
There are quite a few benefits of logging legally. This sort of logging provides wood to people who need it.
Should the logging industry be allowed to harvest public forests?
no they should use forests far away like somewhere plentiful. maybe in Africa or something.alternate opinionYes, if the logging methods are sustainable and equipment that does not damage the forest floor is used. If those two conditions are met, the public would hardly know any logging was going on. In addition, sustainable logging methods are actually beneficial to a forest.

I think that it adds to the problem bc it takes away more logs from the Amazon
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 do you think of selective logging and total log ban?
Nothin! Hehehehe:)
How does selective logging protect topsoil?
Gold is less valuable than Topsoil. Yet Gold is now valued more than Topsoil, and Forests. I'd rather ask "How does selective logging protect Forests?"

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 are the different kinds of deforestation?
logging, burning, clear-cutting, selective cutting.... I'm sure there's more though
