Biodiversity Conservation in the Context of Tropical Forest Management

This paper disaggregates the term "biodiversity" into components (landscapes, ecosystems, communities, species/populations, and genes) and attributes (structure, composition, and function). It then disaggrgates "logging" by deta...
