Biodiversity consequences of long-term active forest restoration in selectively logged tropical rainforests by Nadine Keller, Pascal A. Niklaus, Jaboury Ghazoul, Tobias Marfil, Elia Godoong, Christopher D. Philipson

“…Surprisingly, our findings suggest that active forest restoration promoted the recovery of adult tree species diversity, expressed as Shannon Diversity Index, and in particular promoted rare species. In actively restored plots, the number of adult individuals of tree species that were planted was enhanced, and the density of liana seedlings was reduced, demonstrating that these silvicultural interventions were effective and had long-lasting effects on the forest structure. …”
