Logging in the Rainforest. "Conservationists have despaired over the destruction of tropical rainforest by logging, clearing, and burning." These words begin a report on a statistical study of the effects of logging in Borneo. Charles Cannon of Duke University and his coworkers compared forest plots that had never been logged (Group 1) with similar plots nearby that had been logged one year earlier (Group 2) and eight years earlier (Group 3). All plots were 0.1 hectare in area. Here are the counts of trees for plots in each group: LOGGING Group 1: 27 22 29 21 19 33 16 20 24 27 28 19 Group 2: 12 12 15 9 20 18 17 14 14 2 17 19 Group 3: 18 4 22 15 18 19 22 12 12 To what extent has logging affected the count of trees?
