“…As experimental felling removed the large-sized trees from the felled (HF and LF) plots, the dynamics of AGB in the felled plots should have changed from those in the UF plots. In fact, Osone et al (2016) found that coarse wood debris (CWD) stocks in the HF and LF plots were 50%-60% lower than those in the UF plots. In 2012, there were few large-diameter CWD pieces in the HF and LF plots, whereas there were large standing dead and uprooted trees in the UF plots (Osone et al 2016).…”

“…In fact, Osone et al (2016) found that coarse wood debris (CWD) stocks in the HF and LF plots were 50%-60% lower than those in the UF plots. In 2012, there were few large-diameter CWD pieces in the HF and LF plots, whereas there were large standing dead and uprooted trees in the UF plots (Osone et al 2016). Due to the persistence of these large died trees of late successional species in the forest as CWD stocks for a longterm (Osone et al 2016), the loss of AGB does not result in a rapid decrease in the carbon stock of the forest.…”

Abstract. Toma T, Warsudi, Osone Y, Sutedjo, Sato T, Sukartiningsih. 2017. Sixteen years changes in tree density and aboveground biomass of a logged and burned dipterocarp forest in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 18: 1159-1167. Changes in tree density and aboveground biomass (AGB) of a logged and burned lowland dipterocarp forest were monitored in Bukit Soeharto Research and Education Forest (BSREF) of Mulawarman University, East Kalimantan, Indonesia. A 9-ha plot was established in 1997 to investigate the effect of second felling and the subsequent recovery. Experimental felling was conducted in October 1997, and the plot was burned by uncontrolled fires between February and April 1998. Stem diameter of living trees (diameter at breast height ≥ 10 cm) in the plot was recorded annually. Allometric functions and the annual tree inventory were used to estimate changes in AGB. Tree density in the 9-ha plot was 429 trees ha −1 before the experimental felling.This decreased to 76 trees ha −1 in 2000 because of the felling and fires. Tree density increased to 515 trees ha −1 until 2008 and then decreased to 408 trees ha −1 in 2014. AGB of the 9-ha plot was 279 Mg ha −1 in 1997,which decreased to 96 Mg ha −1 in 2000 and then increased to 139 Mg ha −1 in 2014. After 16 years of the 1998 fires, in 2014, BSREF consists of a mosaic of forest stands that are dominated by either large late successional tree species or small pioneer trees. The former stands consisted of numerous late successional tree species that survived the felling and fires. The latter stands were dominated by a few pioneer species. In 2016, 16 years after the fire, these pioneer dominating stands are now undergoing a transitional stage from pioneer to late successional trees that grow longer and larger than the pioneer trees. Logged and burned forest stands may recover their AGB comparable to that of the original forest (≥400 Mg ha −1 ), if these stands are saved from further logging and fires in the longterm.

“…Coarse Woody Debris (CWD) is an important component of carbon storage in tropical forests (Chambers et al, 2000;Rice et al, 2004;Palace et al, 2012;Osone et al, 2016). In undisturbed moist forests, it may account for approximately 10% of the total carbon storage (Pregitzer & Euskirchen, 2004) and can constitute up to 33% of the forests' Above Ground Biomass (AGB) (Baker et al, 2007).…”

“…A disturbance event usually causes large changes in Coarse Woody Debris (CWD) stocks and fluxes (Osone et al, 2016). Increased mortality due to disturbance promotes carbon flux from the living mass to the Coarse Woody Debris (CWD) pool (Rice et al, 2004), and the subsequent decomposition of the dead trees increases the total carbon emission of the stand.…”
