Conteúdo: | Clear-felling to produce pulpwood commenced in Papua New Guinea in 1973. The operation produces a patchwork of logged areas mostly of a maximum radius < 400m. Regrowth is rapid and 10-year-old regrowth is c.20m tall. Many of the early secondary species originate from seed stored in the topsoil. Vegetative regrowth is also common, especially amongst primary forest tree species. Eleven years after logging 0.12 ha regrowth plots have about 60 tree species, some 60% of which are secondary forest species. By comparison, unlogged plots of the same size have about 64 trees species of which 30% are secondary species. Early patterns of regeneration after logging suggest the forests are recovering both structurally and floristically. How long this will take is not knownSeveral implications for forest management can be suggested.
