Cutting vines triples canopy recovery speed in logged Borneo forests
Researchers have found that trimming aggressive climbing vines in logged tropical forests in Borneo can significantly accelerate canopy recovery. Areas where vines were cut showed carbon storage rates three times faster than areas where new trees were planted. This finding was confirmed through laser mapping technology. Vine removal is also considered a more cost-effective restoration method compared to replanting trees. Scientists say effective vine management can support both forestry sustainability and biodiversity preservation.
