Contents:

History of multiaged silviculture -- Disturbance dynamics of multiaged stands -- Dynamics of multiaged stands -- Dynamics of forest gap and group openings -- Multiaged management systems -- Multiaged stocking control -- Regenerating multiaged stands -- Tending multiaged stands -- Transformations to multiaged stand structures -- Managing multiaged stands for diverse objectives -- Growth projection in multiaged stands -- Volume and economic production of multiaged stands -- Genetics and multiaged silviculture -- Multiaged structures and stand health -- Social justifications for multiaged silviculture.

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.
