TL;DR: In this paper, the technical feasibility, efficiency and profitability of best logging practices in this region by comparing planned and unplanned logging operations in side-by-side plots were investigated, and the medium-term economic performance of best forestry practices under a selective harvest regime was also calculated.

TL;DR: Verissimo et al. as mentioned in this paper found that well over half of the wood consumed in Brazil comes from Amazonia, and this domestic demand for Amazonian roundwood is expected to grow.

TL;DR: In this paper, a study of vine management in a 210 ha forest stand was conducted, where the authors assessed the degree of tree canopy connectedness due to vines and the amount of damage associated with felling trees with intercrown vine connections.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used kriging with external drift with elevation, vegetation type and soil texture as predictor variables to generate a biomass map over the entire Brazilian Amazon region using geostatistics.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors simulate logging impacts on a group of timber species occurring at low densities that are widely distributed across eastern and southern Amazonia, based on field data collected at four research sites since 1997, asking: under current Brazilian forest legislation, what are the prospects for second harvests on 30-year cutting cycles given observed population structures, growth, and mortality rates?
