abstract = "This study assesses ALOS-2/PALSAR-2 (ALOS2) polarimetric images
for detecting forest volume losses due to selective logging in a
region in the Brazilian Amazon. Two logging-intensive areas APU
2016 and APU 2017, were studied. ALOS2 imagery atributes,
including backscatter and phase data, were analyzed for
differences between logged and unlogged regions using Wilcoxon's
nonparametric test at a 95% confidence level. The Radar Normalized
Difference Vegetation Index proved effective in detecting
selective logging-induced forest volume losses, with consistent
results (p-value 0.003 for APU 2016 and 0.037 for APU 2017). These
findings provide insights for monitoring and mitigating ecological
impacts from logging in complex forest ecosystems.",
