Partial harvesting in the Canadian boreal: Success will depend on stand dynamic responses
@article{Thorpe2007PartialHI, title={Partial harvesting in the Canadian boreal: Success will depend on stand dynamic responses}, author={H. Thorpe and S. C. Thomas}, journal={Forestry Chronicle}, year={2007}, volume={83}, pages={319-325} }
In the past 10 to 15 years, alternative silvicultural treatments involving partial harvesting have been developed for boreal forests, with the goal of achieving a balance between biodiversity maintenance and continued timber production. Most prior research has focussed on the impacts of partial harvesting on biological diversity, while stand dynamic responses remain little studied. In this paper we explore partial stand harvesting in the Canadian boreal—its rationale, current extent, and impact… Expand
