title: Data from: Long term impacts of selective logging on two Amazonian tree species with contrasting ecological and reproductive characteristics: inferences from Eco-gene model simulations

description: The impact of logging and subsequent recovery after logging is predicted
 to vary depending on specific life history traits of the logged species.
 The Eco-gene simulation model was used to evaluate the long-term impacts
 of selective logging over 300 years on two contrasting Brazilian Amazon
 tree species, Dipteryx odorata and Jacaranda copaia. D. odorata
 (Leguminosae), a slow growing climax tree, occurs at very low densities,
 whereas J. copaia (Bignoniaceae) is a fast growing pioneer tree that
 occurs at high densities. Microsatellite multilocus genotypes of the
 pre-logging populations were used as data inputs for the Eco-gene model
 and post-logging genetic data was used to verify the output from the
 simulations. Overall, under current Brazilian forest management
 regulations, there were neither short nor long-term impacts on J. copaia.
 By contrast, D. odorata cannot be sustainably logged under current
 regulations, a sustainable scenario was achieved by increasing the minimum
 cutting diameter at breast height from 50 to 100 cm over 30-year logging
 cycles. Genetic parameters were only slightly affected by selective
 logging, with reductions in the numbers of alleles and single genotypes.
 In the short term, the loss of alleles seen in J. copaia simulations was
 the same as in real data, whereas fewer alleles were lost in D. odorata
 simulations than in the field. The different impacts and periods of
 recovery for each species support the idea that ecological and genetic
 information are essential at species, ecological guild or reproductive
 group levels to help derive sustainable management scenarios for tropical
 forests.
