Abstract

Highlights: [•] Logging-induced biomass losses were greater in the plot under CL than RIL. [•] By 16years post-logging, the RIL plot recovered 100% of its original ABG biomass. [•] By 16years post-logging, the CL plot recovered 77% of its original ABG biomass. [•] ABG biomass of trees >60cm DBH did not recover by 16years post-logging. [•] Average annual increment in ABG biomass was 6-times higher in the RIL than CL. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
