Other claims from this paper (11)

Observation Harvestable Moabi occurred at low densities near villages.
Observation Sapelli precommercial densities did not significantly differ between villages and concessions.
Observation Sapelli harvestable densities did not significantly differ between villages and concessions.
Observation Precommercial Tali density was lower around villages.
Observation Harvestable Tali density was the same around villages and concessions.

Observation At least half of commercial-size Sapelli trees were left standing after harvest.
Observation No harvestable Moabi was logged from the 2012 cutting areas.
