Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa P. & C. Lawson) is highly suitable for management using multiaged systems. This suitability is primarily the result of a frequent, low severity disturbance regime, but also because it naturally occurs at low densities and has a long history of management to promote multiple age classes. Several different stocking control tools are available for ponderosa pine inc...

Abstract Changing climates are altering the structural and functional components of forest ecosystems at an unprecedented rate. Simultaneously, we seeing a diversification public expectations on broader sustainable use resources beyond timber production. As result, science art silviculture needs to adapt these changing realities. In this piece, argue that silviculturists gradually shifting from...

Interest in uneven-aged silviculture has increased since advent of ecosystem management programs, which place greater emphasis on ecological values and ecosystem services while also harvesting timber from the forest. However, traditional uneven-aged approaches (e.g., BDq) are often criticized as too complex, costly, and requiring highly-trained staff. The ProportionalB method (Pro-B) addresses ...
