The data loggers were wrapped in aluminium foil and placed in the central part of the stands at approximately 1 m height under the leaf canopy.
Decades of struggle between loggers, environmentalists, and agency officials had resulted in deadlock, with the result that the forest was suffering to the detriment of the interests of all.
For the logging activity, the difference between small and large loggers is based on the number of chain saws, trucks, bulldozers, and log-lifters used in the extraction process.
The underlying causes, which are macroeconomic variables, determine the immediate causes, which in turn influence the agents of deforestation (farmers, animal husbandry, loggers) who are the sources of deforestation.
The loggers, on the other hand, are threatened with economic losses, for which they can be compensated dollar for dollar.
Data were recorded every 10 minutes with a custom-built logger placed at the centre of each study area.
It is not merely that the loggers' lifestyle will be lost, but so too will be their communities.
Malfunction of data loggers during summer prevented a complete data set of soil temperatures for all sites.
