Question

amazon forest lumberjackas and species deatils​

Answer 1

Answer:

In the Amazon basin, only a few species contain valuable timber, much less than many areas of the world. When land is cleared, settlers will sell the valuable timber and burn the remains to enrich the soil. In forests managed for continuous logging, however, logging areas are managed on rotations, where specific parcels can be selectively cut every 20-40 years. Most logging activity is concentrated along highways and major rivers, such as near the river port of Pucallpa in Peru and Santarém in Brazil. Logging also follows highways construction, along roads such as the Trans-Amazon in the north, the soy highway in Mato Grosso, and the newly completed inter-oceanic highway between Brazil and southern Peru in the state of Madre de Dios.
