Biological problems which may result from the use of heavy logging equipment are discussed. Scarification from logging rarely produces enough seedbed favourable to natural regeneration. Full-tree logging may cause nutrition problems by removing tree crowns from poor sites. Well designed studies of various kinds of logging systems are needed to assess their effects on the stand, soil and future regeneration. Studies of nutrient cycling in native forest stands might indicate some of the effects of full tree logging.
