| Summary |
Multiaged silviculture is an emerging global strategy for managing many forest lands. Developing multiaged stand management strategies, or silvicultural systems, for complex forests represents a global challenge to integrate available science with sound management. This book presents the latest scientific and management information on multiaged silviculture. It advocates a range of strategies that include the more traditional complex stand structures as well as simpler variations such as two-aged stands |
