A new study in Borneo shows that cutting back invasive woody vines allows logged tropical forests to regenerate much faster. Using LiDAR data, researchers found that thinning these lianas boosts tree growth and reduces mortality, outperforming simple tree-planting efforts.

In the early 90s, a lot of the forest here started being cleared for commercial use. At the time, I just thought that was the way things were.
