Reply to comment by dilletaunty in Logged forest compared with an unlogged forest could be better for climate change. A detailed assessment of vegetation growth, bird and mammal numbers, and energy flows in logged and unlogged forests offers some surprising findings. by Creative_soja

Agreed. In addition, I also wonder if some research on logging, similar to milk, are funded by people who are interested in a specific result.

But at the end of the day, logging - like milk - is about research-based management and moderation.

I’m sure research by logging companies is pretty dubious. I think the forest service or other publications from government entities may be more fair, as they a) have access to info on a wider variety of data, b) get money from flat rent rather than extractable value and c) politically are interested in balancing a variety of human activities which include wildlife diversity/appeal.

But like who knows tbh

Yeah, that's what I was trying to get at but I don't know what research has been done by logging companies, so I didn't want to say anything definite.
