Abstract

The management of natural tropical production forests is charged to meet with mutually exclusive demands, that is, the production of wood materials and the conservation of biodiversity. One possible way of meeting both demands is to introduce improved management techniques such as reduced-impact logging. The effectiveness of reduced-impact logging in maintaining biodiversity was recognized in selected organisms (e.g., mammals; Mannan et al. 2008). However, this concept needs to be further substantiated in other taxa because benefits of reduced-impact logging can be specific to certain taxonomic groups only.
