SAFE OUTPUT - Multi-stemmed trees survive better and grow more in logged forests in Borneo https://t.co/EGBeZBsSn1 #mutlistem #loggedforest

SAFE OUTPUT: LiDAR used to map growth rates of individual oil palms - during drought trees nearer forest edges and young trees grew better https://t.co/ml7ZcJONgZ #oilpalm #LiDAR

A huge thank you to the tireless, dedicated field crews of @SAFE_Project, @SEARRP and Lambir, and other staff who contributed to the logistics! I estimate the paper incorporates ~35 person years of fieldwork.

New paper finds logged tropical forests are carbon sources for at least 10 years after logging events - not carbon sinks! @SEARRP @Carbon https://t.co/hmS9j3Cyx6
