Towards sustainable management of mixed dipterocarp forests of South-east Asia: moving beyond minimum diameter cutting limits by Sist, P., Fimbel, R., Sheil, Douglas, Nasi, Robert, Chevallier, M.H.

“…These guidelines, a pragmatic reflection of science and ‘best guess’ judgement, include: (1) integration of reduced-impact logging practices into normal management operations; (2) cutting of eight trees per hectare or less (with a felling cycle of 40–60 years to be determined according to local conditions); (3) defining minimum diameter cutting limits according to the structure, density and diameter at reproduction of target species; (4) avoiding harvesting species with less than one adult tree per hectare (diameter at breast height [dbh] larger and equal to 50cm over an area of 50–100 ha); (5) minimizing the size and connectivity of gaps (<600m2 whenever possible); (6) refraining from treatments such as understorey clearing; and (7) providing explicit protection for key forest species and the ecological processes they perform. …”
