Retention Forestry to Maintain Multifunctional Forests: A World Perspective
TLDR
Retention forestry is applicable to all forest biomes, complements conservation in reserves, and represents bottom-up conservation through forest manager involvement and link retention forestry with land-zoning allocation at various scales, expanding its uses to forest restoration and the management of uneven—age forests.

A major shift to the retention approach for forestry can help resolve some global forest sustainability issues
TLDR
It is suggested that an essential part of such management—supplementing the protection of large reserves and sensitive areas within forest landscapes (e.g., aquatic features)—is the adoption of the retention approach in forests where logging occurs.

Can retention forestry help conserve biodiversity? A meta-analysis
TLDR
A meta-analysis of 78 studies using a systematic review protocol provides support for wider use of retention forestry since it moderates negative harvesting impacts on biodiversity, a promising approach for integrating biodiversity conservation and production forestry, although identifying optimal solutions between these two goals may need further attention.
