Use clearcutting to increase understory diversity
A replicated, paired sites study in 2003 in tropical forest in Brazil (Ribeiro, Bruna & Mantovani 2010 found that clearcutting decreased herbaceous density. Herbaceous density (individuals/8 m2 subplot) was lower in clearcut (3) than uncut (17) plots. Data were collected in 2003 in 25 subplots (4 × 2 m) within each plot (250 × 100 m) of three uncut (primary forest) and clearcut (secondary forest, cut in 1980-1984) pairs.
