  1. Abbreviations: Logging intensity, % of trees removed above MCD; Max, maximum; MCD, minimum cutting diameter at breast height; Min, minimum. Maximum value calculated as the impact 1 year after the last logging, minimum value calculated as the impact 1 year before the last logging event.
  2. Standard deviations of control population are 0.006 (4%), 11.05 (2.7%) and 6.11 (4.5%) for basal area, number of trees and number of reproductive trees, respectively.
