Quantification of global gross forest cover loss (2010, background): “Although research on quantifying forest degradation is ongoing (37, 38), operational methods are not ready for implementation at the global scale.”
Interactions among Amazon land use, forests and climate: prospects for a near-term forest tipping point (2008, background): “If we assume that carbon release from deforestation is as described in Soares-Filho et al. (2006), that selective logging reduces forest carbon stocks by 15% ( Asner et al. 2005 ), that drought damage causes a 10% reduction in forest biomass (Nepstad et al. 2007a) and that fire affects 20% of the fo”
Habitat monitoring in Europe: a description of current practices (2008, neutral): “Therefore, it can be used to evaluate pressures and drivers of biodiversity change over large spatial and temporal scales, which may be diYcult to reveal at smaller spatial scales (e.g. fragmentation in neotropical rainforests, Asner et al. 2005; Peres et al. 2006).”
Reducing emissions from deforestation - the "combined incentives" mechanism and empirical simulations. (2009, background): “Forest degradation might be of the same order of magnitude as deforestation (Asner et al., 2005).”
Conservation Biology for All (2010, background): “Despite these undesirable effects, large-scale commercial logging that is unsustainable at either the population or ecosystem level continues unchecked in many tropical forest frontiers (Curran et al. 2004; Asner et al. 2005).”

Examining protected area effectiveness in Sumatra: importance of regulations governing unprotected lands (2012, background): “Conversely, extensive areas of tropical forests outside protected areas are dedicated to commercial logging (Curran et al. 2004; Asner et al. 2005; Laporte et al. 2007), where forest conversion is prohibited.”
Ongoing primary forest loss in Brazil, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Indonesia (2018, background): “For example, selective logging has been shown to facilitate accessibility and risk of fire within previously intact forests (Asner et al 2005, Broadbent et al 2010).”
