From: A methodological framework to assess the carbon balance of tropical managed forests
Above-ground carbon balance from logging on a 65-year period in two logging units logged in 1994 with different logging intensities. The carbon balance at time t is the integral of annual carbon fluxes, i.e. the sum of annual carbon fluxes from the year of logging (1996) to t. The first logging unit underwent a low-intensity logging (left) with a mean extracted volume \(V_{ext}\)=1.1 m\(^3\)·ha\(^{-1}\) whereas the second logging unit underwent a high-intensity logging (right) with a mean extracted volume \(V_{ext}=33.0\) m\(^3\)·ha\(^{-1}\). For each plot, the net carbon balance (top) is the result of fourcomponents: emissions from logging damage (blue), emissions from road, deforestation on main skid trail and logging deck (purple), emissions from extracted timber (red), accumulation from post-logging recovery on the plot (forest green) and accumulation from regeneration on main skid trails and logging decks (light green). The shaded areas correspond to the 95 % credibility intervals
