Silvicultural alternatives to conventional even-aged forest management - what limits global adoption?

Klaus J. Puettmann, Scott M. Wilson, Susan C. Baker et al. · 8 Apr 2015

The development of forestry as a scientific and management discipline over the last two centuries has mainly emphasized intensive management operations focused on increased commodity production, mostly wood. This “conventional” forest management approach has typically favored production of even-aged, single-species stands. While alternative management regimes have generally received less attention, this has been changing over…

The functional complex network approach to foster forest resilience to global changes

Christian Messier, Jürgen Bauhus, Frédérik Doyon et al. · 9 Apr 2019

Human impacts on Earth’s ecosystems have greatly intensified in the last decades. This is reflected in unexpected disturbance events, as well as new and increasing socio-economic demands, all of which are affecting the resilience of forest ecosystems worldwide and the provision of important ecosystem services. This Anthropocene era is forcing us to reconsider past and…

Negative consequences of positive feedbacks in US wildfire management

David E. Calkin, Matthew P. Thompson, Mark A. Finney · 13 Apr 2015

Over the last two decades wildfire activity, damage, and management cost within the US have increased substantially. These increases have been associated with a number of factors including climate change and fuel accumulation due to a century of active fire suppression. The increased fire activity has occurred during a time of significant ex-urban development of…

Young and old forest in the boreal: critical stages of ecosystem dynamics and management under global change

Timo Kuuluvainen, Sylvie Gauthier · 13 Jun 2018

The circumboreal forest encompasses diverse landscape structures, dynamics and forest age distributions determined by their physical setting, and historical and current disturbance regimes. However, due to intensifying forest utilisation, and in certain areas due to increasing natural disturbances, boreal forest age-class structures have changed rapidly, so that the proportion of old forest has substantially declined,…

Review on carbon storage estimation of forest ecosystem and applications in China

Wanlong Sun, Xuehua Liu · 30 Nov 2019

Abstract Background The accuracy in estimating forest ecosystem carbon storage has drawn extensive attention of researchers in the field of global climate change. However, incomparable data sources and various estimation methods have led to significant differences in the estimation of forest carbon storage at large scales. Methods In this study, we reviewed fundamental types of…
