| Tiivistelmä: | Forest growth models are useful tools for investigating the long-term impacts of logging. This paper assessed the results of the rain forest growth model FORMIND by a multicriteria decision analysis. 64 different logging scenarios for an initially undisturbed forest stand at Deramakot (Malaysia) were simulated. The impacts are characterised with four criteria describing the yield, canopy opening and changes in species composition. The results plainly indicate that reduced-impact logging scenarios are more "efficient" than the others, since in these scenarios forest damage is minimized without significantly reducing yield. |
