Explanation:
CL = Conventional Logging System
RIL = Reduced-Impact Logging
MHDF = Mixed Hill Dipterocarp Forests
a DIPSIM considers neither a Quality Factor nor a correction factor for log waste. After the simulation the predicted potentially commercial volume was therefore reduced by the Quality Factor and the correction factor for log waste.

Explanation:
a Productivity in relation to net operable area
b Average: Total volume extracted per total net production area divided by total number of crew days per activity
c No data available or data inconsistent
Note: Figures on productivity are based on the data obtained from 13 RIL blocks only; that is why the average harvesting volume amounts to 26.8 m³/ha instead of the total average of 27.8 m³/ha for 17 RIL blocks
