Abbreviations: d.b.h., diameter at breast height; MCD, minimum cutting diameter at breast height; logging intensity, % of trees removed above MCD; X, no result because of population collapse.

Standard deviations of control population are 0.001 (2%), 4.2 (1%) and 3.4 (2%) for 30-year cycle, are 0.002 (3%), 4.8 (1.8%) and 4.2 (2.5%) for 60-year cycle and are 0.003 (4%), 5.5 (2%) and 5.1 (3%) for 100-year cycle for basal area, number of individuals and number of reproductive individuals, respectively.
