TL;DR: Overall, the uptake of carbon into Earth’s intact tropical forests peaked in the 1990s and independent observations indicating greater recent carbon uptake into the Northern Hemisphere landmass reinforce the conclusion that the intact tropical forest carbon sink has already peaked.

TL;DR: It is shown that most tree species are extremely rare, meaning that they may be under serious risk of extinction at current deforestation rates, and a methodological framework for estimating species richness in trees is provided that may help refine species richness estimates of tree-dependent taxa.

The effects of selective logging on forest structure and tree species composition in a Central African forest: implications for management of conservation areas
TL;DR: In this article, a comparison between unlogged, 6-month and 18-year post-harvest forest stands indicates lasting effects of highly selective, high grade logging in Central African forests.
