The concurrent impacts of fire suppression, climate-warming, and industrial forestry have
dramatically altered the spatio-temporal patterns of fire across the globe. Pyrophilic insects …

Decline in biodiversity have increased the interest in alternative forest management
approaches. Uneven-aged silviculture has been proposed as a mean to maintain continuity …

Post‐harvest recovery of biodiversity is one of important goals in modern forestry. A variable
retention (VR) approach has been of particular interest in North America because it …

Retention harvesting (also called tree retention or structural retention), in which live mature
trees are selectively retained within harvested stands at different retention levels and in …

Abstract The Ecosystem Management Emulating Natural Disturbances (EMEND) project
tests the hypothesis that varying levels of green tree retention maintain and retain forest …

Tree retention on clear-cuts is a relatively new measure in forestry aimed at 'lifeboating'forest
species during young seral periods. However, the effectiveness of tree retention for …

Residual patches of forest remaining after natural or anthropogenic disturbance may
facilitate regeneration of fragmented forest. However, residual patch function remains …

Stand dynamics in the boreal forest are driven by wildfire, and many think that emulating
forest fire patterns during harvesting will adequately preserve biodiversity. We tested this …

Retention of living trees in harvested stands is widely promoted as a way to conserve forest
biodiversity; however, the quantity, quality and distribution of retention required to best meet …

Forest fragmentation by management activities has been implicated in the decline of forest
biodiversity. Even though boreal ecosystems are generally deemed quite resilient to …
