Abstract

 This study evaluated the logging damage to residual trees following logging operations by opportunity and replacement cost approaches. A total density of 5.1 trees/ha and 17.3m3/ha of wood were harvested. On average, 9.8 trees were damaged for every tree extracted including 8 trees killed or severely damaged. The results of showed that selective cutting can damage residual trees US$47369.25. The results of this study also suggest that logging practices need to be accompanied by close supervision of field personnel and post logging site inspections to be implemented properly.
