背景资料：可持续森林管理（SFM），最近已被引入到热带天然生产林，有利于保持木材资源，但目前缺乏有关生物多样性保护和碳固存的共同效益的信息。方法/主要发现：我们使用热传感器相机捕获系统估计了中型到大型森林脊椎动物的多样性，通过地面调查和航空图像解译相结合，研究细根和土壤有机碳。这项研究是在马来西亚婆罗洲沙巴的可持续森林管理应用以及常规采伐生产林进行的。我们的碳估算表明，应用可持续森林管理导致景观尺度上的净收益为54 Mg C ha（-1）。整体脊椎动物的多样性是更大的可持续森林管理应用的森林比在常规记录的森林。具体而言，几种脊椎动物物种（6记录的36种）表现出较高的频率在SFM应用的森林比在常规loggedforest.Conclusions/Significance：应用SFM退化的天然生产林可能会导致更大的多样性和丰富的脊椎动物物种，以及增加在热带雨林生态系统的碳储量。
Background: Sustainable forest management (SFM), which has been recently introduced to tropical natural production forests, is beneficial in maintaining timber resources, but information about the co-benefits for biodiversity conservation and carbon sequestration is currently lacking.Methodology/Principal Findings: We estimated the diversity of medium to large-bodied forest-dwelling vertebrates using a heat-sensor camera trapping system and the amount of above-ground, fine-roots, and soil organic carbon by a combination of ground surveys and aerial-imagery interpretations. This research was undertaken both in SFM applied as well as conventionally logged production forests in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. Our carbon estimation revealed that the application of SFM resulted in a net gain of 54 Mg C ha(-1) on a landscape scale. Overall vertebrate diversity was greater in the SFM applied forest than in the conventionally logged forest. Specifically, several vertebrate species (6 out of recorded 36 species) showed higher frequency in the SFM applied forest than in the conventionally logged forest.Conclusions/Significance: The application of SFM to degraded natural production forests could result in greater diversity and abundance of vertebrate species as well as increasing carbon storage in the tropical rain forest ecosystems.
