TL;DR: In this article, the impacts of logging on carbon storage and biodiversity within lowland dipterocarp forests of Sabah, Borneo were quantified using >100,000 observations of individuals from 11 taxonomic groups and >2,500 species.

TL;DR: In this article, a combination of field and remote sensing data was used to quantify both the magnitude and the geographical distribution of carbon stock in forests and timber plantations, in Sabah, Malaysia, which has been the site of significant expansion of oil palm cultivation over the last two decades.

TL;DR: Using direct on-the-ground observations, the authors confirm that remaining intact forests in Borneo have provided a long-term carbon sink, but carbon net gains are vulnerable to drought and edge effects.

TL;DR: The application of SFM to degraded natural production forests could result in greater diversity and abundance of vertebrate species as well as increasing carbon storage in the tropical rain forest ecosystems.

TL;DR: It is concluded that selective logging decreased the dipterocarp stock in the Malua Forest Reserve of Sabah, Malaysian Borneo by 55–66%, and silvicultural treatments may have the potential to accelerate the recovery of dipteroarp C stocks to pre-logging levels.
