Study Multiaged Silviculture: Managing For Complex Forest Stand Structures : Ohara, Kevin Formulated By Kevin O'Hara Available In PDF

up to date,and should prove useful in my studies Good I felt it only brushed the surface of this topic, which is too bad given how important this type of

silvaculture could be throughout North America.
There could have been a chapter that provided details and examples of the many ecological benefits of multiaged silvaculture there is some of that, but it seemed relatively sparse.
However, it is well written and seems like a good college text, This book presents the latest scientific and management information on multiaged silviculture, an emerging strategy for managing forestry systems worldwide, Over recent decades, forest science and management have tended to emphasize plantation silviculture, Whilst this clearly meets our wood
production needs, many of the world's forests need to be managed far less intensively and flexibly in order to maintain their natural ecosystem functions together with the values inherent in those processes.
Developing multiaged management strategies for these complex forest ecosystems
represents a global challenge to successfully integrate available science with sustainable management practices,

Multiaged Silviculture covers the ecology and dynamics of multiaged stands, the management operations associated with regeneration, tending, and stocking control, and the implications of this strategy on production, genetic diversity, and stand health.
It is primarily aimed at graduate level
students and researchers in the fields of forestry and silviculture, but will also be of relevance and use to all professional foresters and silviculturists.
