What negative effects and research has been found on selective logging in the United States?

Question

Selective logging is the cutting of a few trees in small area of a forest. This practice is commonly used in Brazil. The problem I have found in my studies is that this method leaves behind large amounts of debris; furthermore, creating polution and forest fires.

Answer 1

When done right, selective logging helps to open the forest up and let more botanical species thrive.

By halting it, you run the risk of increased, and more dangerous fires, such as those seen n recent times in the western USA.

Either way you look at it, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't

Answer 2
