A major shift to the retention approach for forestry can help resolve some global forest sustainability issues (2012, result): “…yields has been demonstrated in many studies, although yields are sometimes reduced in some cases (Nyvold et al. 2005), but equivalent to those from conventional but more environmentally damaging logging systems in other cases (e.g., Holmes et al. 2002, Jakobsson and Elfving 2004; see Figure 3).”
The potential ecological costs and cobenefits of REDD: a critical review and case study from the Amazon region (2009, background): “Second, nations can slow or restrict selective logging, or decrease the impact of logging through ‘reduced impact’ harvest practices (Holdsworth & Uhl, 1997; Holmes et al., 2002; Putz et al., 2008).”
Carbon emissions from tropical forest degradation caused by logging (2014, background): “…(e.g. Jackson et al 2002, Iskandar et al 2006), number of trees or areas disturbed by timber harvest (e.g. Verissimo et al 1992, Uhl et al 1991, Holmes et al 2002, Schulze and Zweede 2006, White 1994, Pereira et al 2002) and even carbon stock changes associated with timber harvest (e.g.…”
