The findings of this study provide crucial insights into the extent and impact of various forms of tropical forest degradation, such as selective logging, fire, and edge effects. By understanding the magnitude and persistence of these degradations, conservation and restoration strategies can be tailored to address specific threats more effectively. For instance, focusing on preventing selective logging and fire, which lead to significant reductions in forest height and biomass, can help in preserving the structural integrity of forests. Additionally, the identification of areas with high levels of degradation, especially those vulnerable to subsequent deforestation, can guide targeted conservation efforts to protect these at-risk regions.
