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 UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=1200918 ER -
